I think the walking thing is more to do with access for a quad, outside of the farm ring fence it's a lot of very steep ground leading down to sheer cliffs, only walking territory to be honest, you'd get your quad to a point, then have to walk from there. You'd need to be a mountaineer or such like, as you could get in to deep sh!t if you weren't used to the place.
Would it take some Galloway cows :sneaky:

A nice little earner if they all get an application pack, 717 times £15 = £10k+

Would it be fraud if you offered a farm at £1 rent, charged £20 per set of particulars, then decided none of the applicants met your requirements?

It will prob end up nearer 20k packs sent out at £15/ set would be 30k or £206 an acre!.....

Yup. But they are always looking to buy more historic properties. They own at least 4 choice farms on the Pembrokeshire coast that I know of. Better off if they concentrated on properties, or land, but not both. Spreading themselves a bit too thinly.
I know two of farms one of them quite well. The prvious tennent retired and the NT bought off the land owner. They tried to farm it themselfs for a bit and if there was money in ragwert, docks and nettles they'd be very wealthy. They then let it out with a alot of restrictions. In my opinion the NT shouldn't be aloud to own good agri land as they allways ruin it. The other farm I know is in between twosuccessful dairy farms one an organic farm the other a well run dairy unit and inbetween you have this wilderness of weeds and overgrowen hedges, they even fenced the whole farm and now the fences are 15 foot into the hedge. The farms are basicaly farm organicly but with none of the benifits.

I was up on the orme with my little one as a toddler, which makes it 25 years ago, and there was a dispersal sale being organised, machines etc all set out in lines in the field etc.
I would have to be paid an awful lot of money to be a nt tenant!

That would have been the original owners dispersal sale, got shot of his equipment due to illness.

I went I am very interested in renting it!
I have spoken to there different advisory people on the conservation and the sheep and inside y parc boundaries it is possible to get a decent scanning rate its good ground! They are wanting native breeds used but aren't fussed on the breed as long as its a hardy breed.
How ever there were a lot of alternative types interested, me and my brother didn't realise Laylines and positive energy being felt in the fields was important to farming, this was where we must be going wrong! :)

About 45 acres of the grassland you are able to grow root crop or arable on and muck can be spread there happy to let you feed and harrow and roll. Only big condition is about silage and hay making only aloud to make silage on the 45 acres unless taking a late crop on the 100 acres
