Land Registry - does price paid for land show?

If I sell a corner of my field to someone does the price paid for the piece of land show up on Land Registry?
All above board and going through legals but we have some very busy local busybodies!

    Not, AFAIK, on the "free" feed of residential prices, but it's publicly accessible if they look up details for the plot.

    Thanks David. So it won't show on the sold lists at rightmove or similar because it hasn't gone on public sale, but someone could find out the price if they apply to Land Registry for details of the plot?

    Basically yes. It won't be on Rightmove etc because they filter the transactions to show only what they think are open-market residential property sales. All land ownership details in the Land Registry are publicly available, and that includes whatever was registered as the price paid.
