Preservation order
On the market for just £20,000 is the 24-acre Stickle Tarn (pictured above), which is surrounded by the wonderful Langdale Pikes with magnificent views across Langdale and beyond. Mark Hoggar, from the authority, said the tarn would not necessarily go to the highest bidder, but to a buyer who would care for and preserve it. He also said the buyer would not be able to restrict public access.

Also for £20,000, you could buy Lady Wood, two and a half acres of picturesque woodland overlooking Grasmere, with mature oak, birch and beech specimens, and lots of wildlife. If your pockets are a little deeper, take a look at Blea Brows at Coniston Water, which is a majestic ten-acre stretch of shoreline with wonderful birdlife and a variety of trees, plus, of course, the fantastic scenery yours for £70,000.
Alternatively, Baneriggs Wood at Grasmere is a stunning woodland full of natural beauty and a haven for flora and fauna the area of 16 acres is going for £110,000 while Yewbarrow Wood at Longsleddale offers 36 acres for the same price.
Future plans
The Lake District National Park Authority owns or manages 22,240 acres, which actually comprises four per cent of the total area, so this puts in perspective the size of the area being sold the closing date is 12 March. Fortunately, the money raised from the sale will be reinvested into projects to conserve and protect the countryside. Potential buyers also have to fill in a questionnaire of their intentions and aspirations for the future of woodland on the land. For more information, see Carter Jonas for Waterside Knott, Newby Bridge and Michael CL Hodgson estate agents for the other seven properties.

I've been looking at woodlands over the past year and you don't find any for much less than 10k per acre
