Location
The land has a great location near Whitbourne - it's access is from a minor road just off the A44, With the centre of Worcester 10 miles away and Hereford 20 miles away.
There are no public footpaths on the land - however there are public footpaths nearby that allow you to walk to the beautiful Bromyard Downs
This shows the straight road and old gate which has now been replaced
Access
The land has 2 good road access gates (one is agricultural only) The main entrance is now through this new set of double gates (22 ft) which lead off the minor road. These are set well back and include a pedestrian gate. All of the gateways have been been stoned up which aid with movement across the land.
​
Services
Mains water (metered) is piped around the land, there is approx 900 metres of water pipe, giving multiple distribution points all over the land. We can also share our findings about possible rising spring and borehole sites.
A small brook runs all the way along the eastern border of the land, it is also the county boundary, so we own halfway across it.
There is no mains power, but power cables do cross the land, the last quote from Western Power Distribution for connection was £22K.
Features
The land is a mixture of flat and sloped fields - there are areas of field B and C that are not overlooked,
There is about an acre of woods which runs along part of the eastern boundary and the brook.
About 3 years ago we put in 1500 hedge plants, a double row, fully fenced to conservation standards, to improve privacy from the road and neighbours.

Status
Our intention / dream was a campsite / retreat centre and we have run 2 events on the back field. We had over 40 people attending each time , sitting around the fire and in the yurt* with us - it was a very magical experience.
We did apply, and almost obtained a Freedom Camping licence, the land inspection and facilities passed but we failed on not living within 3 miles - so we could not steward the site and its visitors.

There are other exeption organisations - each has its own guidelines.
The land status is Agricultural - it is our understanding that any change of use would require planning permission. There are no buildings - we believe that planning for an agricultural barn would be a good place to start
This 6.313 hectares holding - is CPH registered .Rural Payments are not claimed.
