                         LANDROUND PLC (the "Company")

                             Director Shareholding



The Company was today informed that Michael Crompton, the Chairman of the
Company, yesterday purchased 15,000 ordinary shares of 5p each in the Company 
("Ordinary Shares"), at 145p per share, which represents approximately 0.28 per
cent. of the issued share capital of the Company. Following this purchase, Mr
Crompton is interested in 1,413,446 Ordinary Shares, representing approximately
25.67 per cent. of the issued share capital of the Company.



In addition to the above holding, the Company operates an Employee Share
Ownership Plan ("ESOP") which holds 150,317 Ordinary Shares representing 2.76
per cent. of the Company's issued share capital. The ESOP holds these shares in
a trust for beneficiaries, principally employees.  The beneficiaries of the ESOP
include some of the directors of the Company who are therefore interested in the
shares being acquired.  Consequently, some or all of the executive directors of
the Company, including Mr Crompton, may, at some future time, obtain a
beneficial interest in a number of these shares when awards are made under this
Plan.
