Grazing around Bucks...

[JaneMBE]

Is there any? The fields all seem to be owned by Parks Trust, and are not ideal. Wonder if there is any farms around or fields doing nothing... Then again, I suppose they would all have been taken!We do pay a lot for what we have.
If you rent a field, how much do you pay? Just curious..

i have grazing in little brickhill - not sure how much it is a month though - i just pay the girl who rents it a tenner a week.

There are some fields used for grazing by the Loughton lakes near the Kam Tong restaurant. I don't know who owns them etc for I know they are definitely used for grazing! Sorry I can't be more helpful.

Thank you :0 I have feeling it is Parks Trust

Why not ask farmers who own land near you. They might have a few fields to spare

Although I now own land when I ran a riding school I had just 5 acres.
the farmer next door knew I was stuffed on that amount and charged me £100 a week for a 9 acre field. It felt like being held to ransome but it was less than feeding all the horses on hay and keeping them in all summer....

Agricultural rates are about £60 - £70 per acre per year.

We pay per horse here, and only two allowed in each field. I will ask locals and farmers again, they may be able to help.
Thanks
