What exactly is the reason in 2016 that electricity has to go on pylons through forestry land?

It it only considered fit for growing giant vegetables on, it wouldn't hurt to pipe the stuff below ground would it?

Or is it a beauty spot where cutting a trench would render the view deplorable even if they did it with a mole?

Or is it that the contract for maintenance is better?

It costs about four times as much for underground cable.
And faults are harder to fix.
