The land is situated adjacent to Astwood Lane some 1.8 miles south of Stoke Prior. The land is well connected locally via Hanbury and Worcester Road. Further afield, major transport links are available via the M5 and M42 motorways, as well as Bromsgrove railway station.
Description
The land lies in a ring fenced block with access available via two gateways, both situated directly off Astwood Lane. A partially grassed-over farm track leads from the eastern entrance gate along the eastern boundary continuing to the pasture located to the southern part of the block.
