Whilst the land works well for training horses, pre planning enquiries have indicated that a perimeter fence should be allowed in order to allow for grazing equines. Further opportunities could be for any number of purposes such as re-wilding or potentially bee keeping. The land has been tested for growing vines which seems quite possible and subject to permission various tourism based activities could be viable.
