There isn't really any unowned land left in England. Some patches that are abandoned perhaps but its not exactly publicised as someone would probably take it if it was well known that there was free land somewhere.

Free not, but there's really cheap land.

I quickly had a look and for example in Burgenland, Austria there's a 1100m² building plot for €50k.

It's far away from anything resembling civilization, but it is land that is buyable.

I found a similar one in Györ-Moson-Sopron in Hungary, with 3000m² for €16k.

You can find similarly priced plots of land all over Europe. Just not anywhere where anyone wants to live.

Edit: sorry, misread England as Europe, my bad. Looking up examples for England.

Edit again: For the £200k that we were talking about before, you can have this nice 6000m² plot of land complete with an old barn: https://www.zoopla.co.uk/for-sale/details/70879656/

I'm sure there are better offers similar to the ones I gave above for other countries, but for some reason UK real estate sites are really hard to navigate, at least for me.

I'm sure if you include North Wales and Northern Scotland in the search you'd find some plots of land that are close to free.

Tbh I would rather a patch of woodland and stick up a cabin, but you normally won't have permission to live on your land and if you do then it usually costs a lot more.
