Where would you want to farm?

[Sheepmansam]

So, if I was to sell my farm in NI and farm elsewhere in the UK, where would be best?
Beef and sheep farm with maybe some arable for own use

A lot of the Scottish Borders is quite rolling stuff with shallow soil?

Beautiful area though

North Cornwalls hard to beat at some points in the year with short mild winters, grass grows pretty much year round and the coastal farms don’t tend to get too wet.
But this time of the year is a emmit (tourist) nightmare. The place is over run with cars that can’t reverse and dog walkers and cyclists that can’t seem to stop to get out the way. Land price is artificially inflated as well as everyone has a 2nd income from renting holiday cottages. So a viscous circle of tourism propping up the farming sector but at the same time making it very stressful to go about your work from Easter to Your October!
I vote South Island NZ somewhere between Dunedin and Invercargill

I love the idea of the Yorkshire Wolds, but I expect hare coursers take the shine off it a fair bit.
Don't fancy anywhere touristy at all.

I want to retire to a smallholding in Russia, as long as they leave me alone.

Highland Perthshire isn’t too bad a place to farm.
Don’t get the extremes of weather, good soils, great farming community, not too many people.

I reckon Morayshire and up round to the Black Isle would be ok too. For farming abroad, it would have to be NZ

Kazakhstan near to the good grain area

The one thing i don’t know is were Wat and Offa English or Welsh, I’m guessing English to keep the Welsh out.

Bought some land next door last year, the sellers late father used to reckon it was the best land in the country, full of the blood of the welshmen who had fought over it.
Metal detectorists certainly tell me there are plenty of musket balls to be found on the area

Offa was the king of Mercia so wasn’t English or welsh

Offa was the king of Mercia so wasn’t English or welsh

He certainly wasn’t a farmer anyway. He made a right mess of digging an overgrown ditch in my bottom two fields!

I’m guessing the English soldiers weren’t very bright if such a fortification could hold them back.

Does make you wonder it must have had a bit more too it back in the day
