Thanks a lot this is really helpful. Sounds like you're living my dream!

Thanks for this info. Really good to hear. I'm hoping the investment side of things was more of a bi product of just owning and managing a lot. I'll have a look into that website thank you

That's what I like to hear. I'm currently based in the south west, but Wales isn't too far from here and also debating moving that way anyway. You're right I see a lot of plots for reasonable prices that way.

I assume you mean it's pointless if you don't own a large woodland? I am interested in owning the entire plot. Thinking of something like £100k

Thanks, that doesn't seem overly as positive as I had hoped

Hey! I’ve been interested in woodlands and forestry for a long time now. I just came across this forum on an internet search. Always had this dream that one day I’d own a woodland. As the years have passed I’ve done lots of online research into amenity woodland and commercial woodland. I recently began really taking this dream seriously. I looked into amenity woodlands around an hour from home on websites like woodlands.co.uk and woods4sale.co.uk. I found a really nice one but it had some open applications regarding a footpath which put me off. After looking at these woodlands for a while I began thinking maybe if I put in some more money I can buy a commercial woodland as an investment. I then get the benefits of using some of it for leisure and can have an investment at the same time. I’d like to hear from some people who have had similar experiences. There’s a few things I have outstanding which I am struggling on. My career has been technology based, and I live in a small town, which has rural surroundings. I have zero practical knowledge in forestry. - How to find a plot a suitable distance from where I live? - How do I go about making a business plan for my investment? - How do I go about planting, sizing and selling my timber? - Where should I be looking for these opportunities? - Any other help or points on where to continue my mission Thanks!
