The farmland and paddocks that interests us around Rhyl
We are looking for farmland near Rhyl with a realistic access, ideally land the owner has already put forward to the Local Development Plan. Rhyl lies about 18 miles north-west of Mold in Clwyd. We also cover Prestatyn, Abergele, Colwyn Bay and the villages between them.
- Land with road frontage or a farm track to a road
- Parcels from a few acres to whole holdings
- Land put forward to a Local Development Plan candidate site process
- Farmland where the owner wants to keep farming meanwhile
Clwyd covers north-east Wales, from Wrexham, Deeside, Buckley, Mold and Flint to the coastal towns of Rhyl, Prestatyn, Colwyn Bay and Llandudno and the market towns of the Vale of Clwyd. Typical sites include edge-of-town fields, former industrial land around Deeside and Wrexham, farm buildings and village infill. There is no grey belt in Wales, but Future Wales anticipates a green belt around Wrexham and Deeside, and the Clwydian Range and Dee Valley National Landscape is a major constraint.

Frequently asked in Clwyd
Can I keep farming while you pursue planning?
Yes. Under an option or a conditional contract the land normally stays in your hands, and in use, until completion.

Development land may need to leave a scheme at some point. Check your agreements and take advice; we plan timing around them where we can.

No. Our appraisal is free and there is no obligation to sell to us.
