OK, a really random question...
One of the houses on our road has a large garden, plus a small paddock at the back (plus a second site of land with a load of falling down out-buildings on it). The paddock is completely overgrown (think 5-6ft high grasses and weeds) and hasn't been used in any way for the last 4 or 5 years.
We could easily access the land from our field, by taking down a section of fence and building a small bridge across a drainage dyke.
We have toyed with the idea of asking to buy the paddock from them (as they aren't using it). It will still leave them with a very large garden and the other part of land with the outbuildings on it.
The land will never get planning permission for a house to be built on it (several of these types of build have been turned down on our road over the last five years), so in terms of value, I'm not sure what it is worth.
Is there a way of finding out what the land might be worth - we may be in a place later in the year where we have some money coming in - and ideally we'd like to buy this from them (ideal world and all that).

You can find and measure it using the google measuring tool, and work it out from there.
