I filled the field in the center of the picture (surrounded by the woods)
with trees & sold/gave it to the Woodland trust

Basically it had a very buzy footpath through the middle of it & as
such it was useless for animals & crops. Wrt Animals...rounding up
sheep & cattle from steep banked woodland when someone's left the gate
open... is not much of a laugh

Here's a description of it:

BTW "previous owner" = me.

"Management access (permissive) is available from Low Road, across a
pasture field entering the wood from the north, via a field gate."

Cough cough.....note permissive (i.e. "am I in a good mood") as
in the road from the low road field up't meadow has been affected by
unmaintained land drains from what's now "their land" & until
I get oopthere w'it jcb then it's walking access only (unless you've got
some sort of trans-Actic low gorund pressure tracked vehicle).

Now I've had chat's about them....maintaining the drainage.....sp
"permissive" is a 2 way street.
