Probably, but I think a personal approach is best. Find out the sort of
price for land around there first so you have an idea of what to offer
if need be, then go and have a chat. I'd give better reason for wanting
the land though.

What reason would you suggest then? I havent got any other reason. I might
keep geese or some other livestock, or if the land allowed it put up some
fruit trees, but I just want the field to go and stand in. I know that
sounds odd but I am an odd person.


Saying I don't like neighbours doesn't come across very well. Saying I'd
like more space, /plant an orchard/ plant a wood etc. sounds more
positive.

Possibly mention some use that wouldn't be worth much money, eg
keeping a few sheep, you certainly wouldn't want to give any hint that you
are effectively wanting a bigger garden and the trees/orchard suggestion
might give that impression, leading to cash register eyes.
