Just wondering on ball park rents for that area, grass or arable. Wondered where it sits on the very large sliding scale!

Pretty much sums it up really
I don't pay anymore than £55 pa, but that's all hill ground (SDA I get no payments)
Some pay more some pay less

Digester just up the road, might bump arable ground up.

Rents- variation would be huge amongst the range of landlords around here.
Not a big dairy area, but a few dairy farms not far from Dunster

Blue anchor/ Dunster beach is stunning.

That ground around there will grow some grass/crops and has a micro climate of its own.

Assuming BPS is included then it will be worth £220/250 acre with the sheds?

Take BPS off then £160 + acre?

i havnt looked at the detail Staggs got it? up by the streams not that brilliant and as it rises ?up at the back,
not sure what the arable ground is.
i know what its like over Watchet way as i've done some casual work thereabouts back along.
plenty enough people around.

Yea details are online if its the same land we are talking about.

I personally do not think its worth the figures i posted above but with good road links there will be plenty of large farmers/ contractors after it no doubt and will push hard to get it.
