Sometimes "unkempt and antique" adds charm.

Call it the Ozymandias effect.

I quite agree that a certain amount of vegetation can add to the atmosphere of a place.
IMHO though, is whether the vegetation is, firstly, causing damage and then whether the site has become hidden to the point that it is at risk of being swollowed back into the earth never to be seen again. Both of these maybe a matter of opinion.
I think I have saidbefore that with the land owners permission, I would be happy to keep my local sites clear of excessive overgrowth and safe from dilapidation.
Maybe we should all nominate a site or two for gardianship (with the owners permission of course) that we feel are at risk?
