For Sale

I've made a few diversions on my travels recently, to nosey at a small meadow that has come up for sale...
From June 2010

Part of an originally larger flood-plain carved up by a raised section of by-pass. No chance of building potential at all, but interesting from a conservation and biodiversity aspect (surrounded on 3 sides by Natural England's SSSI designation, it is part of the River Dee flood-plain and hasn't been intensively managed in living memory). A few evenings this week spent researching traditional meadow management (and black-poplar reintroduction) and the various administrative hurdles in agricultural land stewardship.
