Description

Upper Camster is an area of former rough grazing in the Flow Country of northeast Caithness. Lybster is 5 miles to the southwest. Wick is about 9 miles to the northeast and John o’ Groats a mere 16 miles further.

Grazers have been excluded from the area from some years allowing the natural vegetation to reassert itself – purple moor grass, rush, sedges, lichen and sphagnum on the wetter peat areas and heather dominating on elevated ground. The absence of sheep has also enabled the adjacent trees to seed in and there is now quite a good showing of spruce and pine saplings, especially toward the southwestern fringes.

A small burn (stream) runs along the northeast boundary and the remains of a stone fank (sheepfold) are clearly visible nearby.

This attractive parcel is the residual part of a much larger forest estate. The vendors now wish to divest themselves of the remaining pockets of land they hold, and consequently Upper Camster is priced to sell.

Please note, we will only accept emails of intent to purchase with photographic evidence of viewing, in the form of a photo of you next to our Woodland for Sale sign.

If It Were Mine

I’d encourage the scattered conifer regeneration on site and perhaps consolidate this by planting some hardy broadleaves like rowan and birch for amenity and conservation. The raised knoll near the southeast corner would make an intriguing spot for summer camping.

Please remember some management operations require approval and/or a licence.
