woods4sale and some other similar sites (http://www.woodlands.co.uk/) are all about buying larger woodlands and selling them in small (sub 10 acres) parcels to townies mainly

we (the SEC ACU) have looked at a few sites that have come up in the past, sites like http://www.johnclegg.co.uk/ show some bigger woods up for sale. the problem is as we (the local ACU) perceive it is that it would be better to buy a site already in use and then (if needed to) develop it. going to a "green field" could risk a quick injunction and make your purchase worthless (ie watch SSSI, national parks, etc)

also at the same time there is still a lot of land out there (esp MOD and Forestry land, but also large landowners) that can be used but you've got to actually pay for it (ie trials is too cheap and most organisers aren't charging enough to pay enough)

This crowd do forest sales but beware of sending off for particulars as they charge for details you could easily get from solicitors. The tricky bit is finding the solicitors who are selling them.

This site occasionaly comes up with small pieces of weird land.
