Return of the Wilderness to the UK?

Devonian RE: Return of the Wilderness to the UK?
Ahhh... but will any of this actually mean that the British Countryside becomes a "Wilderness", or is it just unmanaged land??

True wilderness would probably take centuries but being completely overgrown and inpenetratable in the SW could occur in under 100 years as seen by the Lost Gardens of Heligan, (they found a victorian ornamental garden in Heligan including lakes, ponds, walkways, greenhouses etc completely overgrown about 15 years ago and it took five years hard graft to restore it).

An old National parks report suggested it would take around 600 years for the moors to be reclaimed by trees. (Some moors are artificial and were originally heavily wooded)
