In reply to Simon Caldwell:
> No they can't. It's mostly open access so they can only close it for a very limited number of days. It's also crossed by loads of public footpaths and bridleways, which cannot be closed, so using the land for shooting could be impractical
It's not an attractive purchase from a financial perspective.
If you can't generate an income from the land, at least to cover the cost of maintenance and legalities, then it becomes a money pit and a folly.
I also can't see it delivering an acceptable return on the investment further down the line on resale.
I suppose someone may buy it as an altruistic gesture, but that is a big ask?
