That would be a couple of fair sized fields. |

X farmer hubby says 20 acres is a very small farm, more like a smallholding. |

You can maybe put a bit of meat on the bones with a look at the tithe map. |

We have a little over an acre of land here, but I wouldnt want to put a football pitch on it. It is all up and down - a couple of ridges with the hollows in between. Quite apart from the fact that the trees would get in the way of the game. |
