More great ideas, thanks everyone.

We've owned it for three years now and have done very little other than clear fallen trees for firewood and ride the horses around it. Previous owner had a lot more time & machinery than us and kept it very well maintained - it's gotten a bit wilder since we've had it. Will definitely look at...

Thanks for all the suggestions. Lots for us to think about. Think we will definitely start by exploring the wild camping avenue and take it from there. Not sure how many of the ideas are compatible with the camping, although definitely interested in the possibility of running courses etc if...

Thanks Duncan. Our neighbours have a small holding (minus the woodland) and have just reared pigs. Some of the tastiest pork I've ever had, so definitely worth some consideration. I may try and find someone locally with the knowledge for tannery, skinning and see if they would be interested in...

Those that have mentioned keeping livestock - what would be the end goal behind that? I'm assuming pigs could be sold for meat, is there much of a market for goat or deer? Coincidentally the woodland on the opposite side of the valley to us has a heard of goats in it, have never thought about...

Thanks for all the replies. I did write a long reply last night, but it appears to have disappeared somewhere so I'll start again. GB - evolving over time is definitely what we were hoping to do. The facilities at the place you mention sound superb, presumably they have enough campers to...
