As you have guessed, the Crown Estate owns an exceptional amount of the United Kingdom and beyond. Among its impressive property portfolio is 25,000 acres of rural land used for farming. Some of the land lies completely untouched, like dense forests that were as large as they were hundreds of years ago today. It might be hard to imagine a world in which, as cities and new developments continue to spring up across England, the Crown manages to hold onto the land forever. However, it’s definitely a precious asset with untold value.
