Britain’s most southerly farm is up for rent to a tenant who can look after a rare pair of breeding birds – and accommodate thousands of ‘twitchers’.
The idyllic Tregullas Farm sits on the tip of the Lizard Peninsula in Cornwall overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.
It has a five bedroom farmhouse, private garden, and a host of farm outbuildings including a former tea room.
But the farm is also home to the only pair of breeding choughs in Cornwall.
The National Trust now wants a new tenant for the 238-acre site – but stresses the incumbents must be willing to accommodate birdwatchers.
Every year thousands of of ‘twitchers’ come to see the distinctive red-legged black crows.
Birdwatchers have access to the land via footpaths and the trust says the farm tenant must make the choughs’ well-being a ‘priority’
