>>>Hay is right on the English/Welsh border (about half way along). My farm is in Wales but the eastern boundary (for about a mile) is also the national border. Hay is small -maybe 3,000 people but is, supposedly, the town with the most books per capita in the world ( I forget the book count but it has about 23 miles of shelves!)

>>Pretty much like that. You'd enter 52 3' 1.19"N, 3 5' 53.66"W. Pretty nice. Not a lot of homes around your area. How much of that land is yours?

>Hah! That worked great. I just pasted the Lat/Long into the 'Find' textbox and bingo!
>How much land? Difficult to show. It's only 130 acres (average for a Welsh farm). The Welsh border bit is (proudly using my new-found Google Earth skills) from 52° 3'25.87"N 3° 5'59.65"W to 52° 2'39.89"N 3° 5'22.24"W. But I have grazing rights over several hundred acres in the mountains to the west.

So it's actually a working farm? What do you raise, sheep, cattle, both? I'm interested because my dad was raised on a farm here in Canada in Saskatchewan. It was mostly a wheat farm, but they had a few cows for their own use, chickens likewise, a couple of horses for the plow. He left when he was in his teens, but my uncle had the farm until he got too old to handle it.
