A note from the site themselves...

The land was my grandfather's, he was the landlord of the local pub since 1929, which he took over from my great-grandfather who was a licensee in 1916. He would walk the cows from the pub (to be milked) to the barn at Ernie's plot which is still there.

My passion for the outdoor lifestyle and countryside helped me in my decision to create a place for others to come and enjoy as the land had stunning views of Colmers Hill and the surrounding countryside. I have added some livestock which consists of Jacobs sheep, ducks and chickens. I sell daily fresh eggs on my site.

As I have a love of trees having the land allowed me to recently plant 70 native trees and two hedgerows which has encouraged much wildlife from deer to foxes.
