Accompanied sporting programmes can be arranged separately including driven shooting, stalking, duck flighting, falconry and field sport tuition.
The Estate is deservedly gaining a reputation, not only for high quality driven partridge and pheasant but also for the attention it gives to smaller groups looking for flexibility and a wide range of activities.
