Just wondered if any members had purchased their own woodland as I keep seeing woodland for sale (way out of my price range at the moment) and Im curious about how easy it is and if its even worth considering.
I guess that depends on what you want to do with it?
One of the issues that I see for using woodland as a commercial venture, coppicing, firewood, greenwoodwork etc,
is that the likes of woodlanduk buy up reasonable size woodland and then split it in to small plots for resale.
I would love about 40+ acres of woodland and I think that I could make a living from it...... possibly

If the motive is to enjoy then get one.
Entirely possible for fishing/shooting rights to be sold separately from the land. Not sure how the access is arranged but possibly there could be a covenant allowing shooting access. Certainly something to check.If you want to shoot on the land you buy then ask if the shooting rights come with the deal as I have heard that sometimes the shooting rights have already been bought by syndicates?
I'm not sure how this works as it would be strange to own some land and have to let others shoot there while you cannot? If someone knows about this let me know as I feel I may be just reciting something I heard?
