Short-term lets offered at Knockaloe

Grazing licences advertised at farm

Manx farmers are being offered the chance to graze stock at Knockaloe farm, after five year tenancies of the land and buildings expired.

Central Marts is advertising short-term lets for grazing, for a 12 month period commencing 16 November.

The Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture stopped farming at Knockaloe in 2010, and according to minister Richard Ronan, the land is being let while the long-term future of the 337 acre site is decided.

The farm was used to house internees during World War One and DEFA wants to develop a new visitor attraction there, highlighting its place in history and giving a boost to the economy of the local area.

Inquiries should be made to Central Marts on 822372 by Tuesday 10 November.
