Seeking a new adventure and already owning fields around the Bay View, James saw this as an opportunity not to be missed. He also runs a seasonal campsite in the adjoining field. Wanting family at the heart of the business, James asked his daughter Annie, a former community nurse, and George, a former builder, to help run the Bay View.
