Description

POUGHNHILL FARM, CAYNHAM, LUDLOW, SHROPSHIRE, SY8 4JY

In all around 118 acres (47.75 hectares)

Poughnhill Farmland

The land, accessed via a right of way, runs up from the boundary to Caynham Camp. Classed as Grade 2 and Grade 3 on the Agricultural Land Classification scale, the farm has in recent years been managed through mowing as well as the grazing of sheep and cattle under licence. The land benefits from a private water supply which supplies the troughs on the farm. The current owners have implemented both a Sustainable Farming Incentive Scheme and a Higher-Tier Countryside Stewardship Scheme (both of which commenced January 2024, the sale shall be subject to both
agreements).

The land lends itself to a variety of uses and management styles, enabling future owners to manage a grass based farming system, a focus on biodiversity or carbon objectives, or a variety of wider personal interests.

The land contains a variety of small copses and woodland, as well as established hedgerows containing mature trees. These could be supplemented with additional planting, subject to the necessary consents where appropriate, should the new owners wish.

Caynham Camp
An Iron-Age Hillfort (and scheduled monument), occupying the highest part of the farm, with commanding views over the local countryside. Whilst still clearly visible, the camp is now ringed by mature trees and has formed an extremely attractive haven at the top of Poughnhill Farm.
