How do I find out who owns a bit of land?

[allmytimeonmumsnet]

There is a plot of land near our home that we would like to try to buy. It is not even agricultural land really as it is steep and overgrown, only a small patch.

How do I go about finding out who it belongs to? I have looked at land registry online but this seems aimed more at houses. I have a map with the plot number/ID on it.

many thanks
