Aw I feel for you.
I'm only in White Coppice but I want my land for my sheep. I assume you would want all year turnout and exclusivity to the land if you've gone to the expense of fencing it for deer?
Have you tried driving round looking for potential plots and asking them directly? Also, try going to some of the farms in the area, I assume your rent for a smallish area would be more than their return on the sheep/cattle they currently have on it?
Best of luck with your search :)

They run well with sheep I keep them out from April/May to November then I house them all currently building another barn so I can house everything in winter all at one place I'd just have to make a temporary catch up pen when moving them all,yeah I'd pay good money this years calving has took me over my stocking levels but I want to finish them too that's the problem as I just keep getting bigger need some good numbers to make a good return,sorry for late reply

I know some other places in the country and in Wales there's loads about of what I've seen I've got good winter housing now so can winter both herds the problems soon when the grass slows down and when they turn out next year after winter and I've got increased stock sizes and not enough ground even twenty acre would free me up allot.and I don't want to sell any that are better than meat quality as I'd have to buy them in again need a good sized heard to make it happen
