Hi guys. Thanks for letting me join. I'm about to buy a smallholding in Wales. It will be new to me, having been a professional gardener for the last 20 years.

I wonder if someone could please point me in the right direction as to some links as to what I'm legally allowed to do with a smallholding. At the moment I'd like to have an orchard and a few animals, grow some vegetables, and have a flower garden.  I plan on starting small and learning fast .

Thanks in advance for any links. I can't find any sensible info via Google.

This forum aside  (a fantastic wealth of info in itself)

I'd also recommend the articles here http://smallholderseries.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&id=100&Itemid=141

And also the Tim and Dot Tyne book viable self sufficiency https://www.amazon.co.uk/Viable-Self-Sufficiency-Tim-Dot-Tyne/dp/1904871925

  and welcome from Shropshire. You will need a CPH (County Parish Holding) number to keep animals and a herd number, both free. Lots of info in the tabs at the top of the site here.
