Six of the Best

The West Norfolk recommends:

North elmham

“We have had some very good runs here over the years, over the best country we have, with lots of ditches and uprights.”

Nick Saffell MFH

holme hale

“An unspoilt part of Norfolk, not fashionable but challenging and fun to cross. Big ditches, unkempt hedges and an old railway line add to the day.”

Andrew Kendall MFH

Castleacre or Westacre

“These are in what we call ‘High Norfolk’, where one gets panoramic views of the surrounding countryside and can catch that timeless sense of tranquillity and continuity of man’s

relationship with nature.”

Tania Bullard MFH

Bawdeswell

“it has a very welcome and healthy balance of support for all country sports

throughout the seasons.”

Toby Coles, former MFH

Gateley (opening meet)

“A beautiful part of Norfolk tucked away from everyday life with established woods and grazing land. Always fun with lots of hunt jumps and grass.”

Helen Newton, honorary secretary

Gressenhall

“The country is owned by current and late Masters of the West Norfolk as well as supportive local farmers, who over the decades have laid down coverts and plenty of well-placed jumps to enable the Field to keep up with the hounds.”
