I don't know if this is still an option these days and if you would be happy with no facilities but when we were 17ish a group of us wrote to about 5 farms with stamped addressed envelopes, we used an Ordnance Survey map to find the names of farms, then wrote a letter to something like "The Owner", name of farm, name of nearest village, name of nearest town, name of county. We put in a letter saying something like who we were, that we wanted to camp, we were all guys so could not get in on a campsite and were they able to help us. We offered payement and a deposit to be given back if we left the area tidy.
Amazingly we got all the envelopes back and one of the farmers had hosted Scout Camps previously and he was happy to help us. He gave us a field next to a river, left us a tractor trailer to put our rubbish in and even gave us a shovel to dig a hole in the next field behind the hedge for us to squat over when nature called. We had a great time there. Happy Memories.
The guy was great and gave us our deposit back days before we were due to leave. We left him a case of beer on his doorstep as he wouldn't take any money.
Sadly we tried to go there again about 5 years later, the number we had did not work, and when we tried writing to him we had a letter back from a property management company saying the farm was now private holiday cottages, so I can't be too much help, but may be worth a try.
