+Vodor and Scorsby Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Ok possibly been asked many times before but here goes. Im thinking of placing a couple of caches in my area but I dont know how to go about finding out who the landowner is in some circumstances.... What if there is a very small area of scrubby woodland, unfenced and unmaintaned on the side of the road? No idea who owns it..... Or what if its a dissused railway line that overgrown..? I live in cornwall and there are little pockets of overgrown land everywhere beside the road that are not used by farmers, nowhere near a house, and dont appear to be close enough to the road to belong to the local council. Any replies welcome. Thanks. Quote Link to comment
nobby.nobbs Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 The rights of way officer in the local town. estate agents nearby farmers at the pub. other local cachers. there is also the land registry but to be honest i doubt it would be worth the effort to try that one. hopefully one of the above will get you close to knowing whose land it is. good luck Quote Link to comment

Depends on what views its got. The woodland scrubby bit is (without giving away to much) quite small and on a bank with very nice views when you get up there. Start building an office block on the site.You'll soon find out who owns it! Edited to add a Never thought of that. *digs out chainsaw* So if anyone knows a good builder........

Herefordshire? I think its really unfair you compairing herefordshire to a scrubby patch of woodland on the side of the road! Thats an insult to scrubby patches of woodland all over the country and I think you should feal ashamed of yourself! Edited August 29, 2007 by Vodor Quote Link to comment

+careygang Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 I've been in touch with one of our local councils and when I was explaining about contacting 'land owners' for permission, the woman said that even they had trouble finding out who land owners were. Quote Link to comment
+pirate_matt Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 thanks for the advice. I am looking for who 'owns' a road bridge, over a river (for an earth cache) but had no idea where to start! Quote Link to comment
+osman123 Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 For my tu'penny worth I've had a the same problem of trying to find out who some local landowers were in my local area. Now this may not apply to you, but it maybe worth a shot as it paid off for me. I got in touch with the Secretary of the local Parish Council, who willingly gave me all the details I needed including copies of the local Boundary Maps. I found out who the secretary was by getting in contact with the Regional Council, in my case North Somerset...... Might not work for you, but it maybe worth a shot as I said!.......Ade Quote Link to comment
