Title: Land wanted for a fresh start
Post by: mariegold on September 08, 2013, 09:31:25 pm

Dear Everyone,

Having recently given up on trying to buy a smallholding I am now seeking land in or near Stroud Gloucestershire. Have put an offer on a little house with a small garden and would love to buy or rent a few acres to start my smallholding dream! Can anyone help? I've got lots of farming experience and high animal and land welfare standards. I'm also very neighbourly  ;D . Absolutely any suggestions / offers considered. Thank you.

Thanks for suggestions both! have checked landshare but nothing doing.... Also Berkeley is a bit far as want to be able to cycle/walk to land sometimes. I've seen a plot a few miles away but they want £90k or 7 acres. I guess that's the Cotswolds or ya.
