For this year only, the farmer who maintains the land asked if he could grow wheat on the top field. This is not a permanent arrangement. The field can be returned to meadowland. All of the land is rent-free to which the farmer has no legal right. The land is fenced by wire fencing and hedges. All of the land can be contained easily to house livestock. The land has three or four fresh water springs which fill two small lakes and then run down the valley into a larger stream. The smaller lake is circular and approximately 50m in circumference but quite shallow. The larger lake is approximately 200m in circumference and is considerably deeper. The water was tested to a standard suitable for swimming. Both lakes can be drained. The fish in the larger deeper lake are mainly Carp. There are no rights of way over the land, although hunters are legally allowed access during the hunting season (October) The nearest house is approximately 200 metres away.
