THE LAND
The land at Golden Park extends in all to some 284.84 acres (115.30 hectares). Contained within a ring fence, the land has generous road frontage to the public highway, with further farm lanes creating independent access to nearly every field.
Largely free draining, these good sized and good shaped fields are easily worked for arable cropping and silage production, with steeper sloping land around the periphery more suited to grazing and conservation, with scope to plant trees or create a small shoot.
The land is generally Grade 3, with the typical soil type across the farm being NEATH (0541h) which is characterised as a fine silty soil over rock, suited to cereals, root cropping and grassland.
The land enjoys sea views from many vistas, including north to Lundy Island.
Pockets of woodland are interspersed around the property, providing a haven for wildlife, and offering plenty of firewood. These woodlands are neatly situated around the fringe of the farm, with more recent plantations around the farmstead, all of which enhances the privacy which Golden Park has to offer.
