Have you ever dreamt of owning your own peaceful plot of land in the countryside to tow your caravan to? Well now you can!
A new scheme called the Woodland Bond is offering people the chance to buy their very own pitch in picturesque woodland at very affordable prices.
Where's the catch, I hear you ask. Well, there isn't one. Owners have a freehold so while you couldn't build a house there, it still has value.
The only minor snag is that by law you can only spend 28 nights per year staying there and you have to abide by the Woodland Bond code, but other than that it's pretty much catch-free.
Plot owners become members of the Woodland Bond and attain ownership of their very own plot. The pitch is then managed by the company and basic utilities such as water and waste disposal are provided by the Woodland Bond.
The plots are securely gated but unfenced and members are encouraged to share their plots with others, though this is not mandatory.
Furthermore, while you are only able to spend 28 nights a year on the plot, you can visit whenever you like for a day out.
If you'd like to find out more and see where plots are available, visit the Woodland Bond website.
