Dorset

This pheasant shoot can easily be ranked as one of the top shoots in the South of England. Its relatively low number of shoot days mean that the condition of the land and the birds is always impeccable. The landscape of Abbotsbury is quite something: you can expect to be met with awesome views down onto the Swannery and the Sun sparkling over the sea. Something not even a record bag can outdo. The skyline here is quite simply exceptional, and the birds are guaranteed to be aiming for the clouds, even with strong coastal winds.

Abbotsbury Swannery is the only managed colony of nesting mute swans in the world.

Heading south to Dorchester either via the A354 or the A35. The estate is then only a 20 minute drive from there.

Pheasant & partridge

October until late January

Abbotsbury is still run in the traditional way and they are keen to stick to these roots. We usually meet for 9am with a 930am at the first drive, shooting up for 4 drives before stopping for lunch. We then head out afterwards for a final drive to complete the day.

On the the estate there is a number of luxury holiday lets or close by Summer Lodge at Evershot.
