Stott Hall farm

One of my favourite places in Britain, I'm long overdue to take a pilgrimage to Stott Hall Farm - a solitary island in the thundering river that is the M62. I've long wanted to spend a 24 hour period there, soaking the visceral experience in.

Apparently you can reach it by road, and the farm gets travellers gets occassionally visited by people who have run out of petrol or use the phone.

I would buy this place if I had any money and build a glass tower to live in so that I could see the constant stream of humanity rushing past.
