Set in a stunning 1700 acre estate, Ashcombe Park is part of the Churnet Valley, a designated area of outstanding natural beauty featuring places of special scientific interest. The perfect country retreat, its secluded location is a place of picturesque beauty.
The shoot was established in 1999 when John Pointon first purchased the adjoining farms to the estate. The Pointon Family continue to run the estate and the family has always been very passionate about the sport.
Regarded as the most hospitable shoot int he country, there is huge emphasis on the personal touches, the family hosting the days and the relaxed feel of the entire shoot.
The shoot will normally aim for 4 drives, stopping for breaks in between drives and back to the lodge for lunch at the end of the day.
