As befits the "Country of birth" of E.J Churchill Sporting we are able to provide our clients with the full range of sport which is on offer throughout England and Wales. The shooting and fishing Estates on which we offer days are areas in many cases we have known since childhood.
The unbeatable rapport with Estate owners and gamekeepers ensures that we always get the sport which our clients request. With three of our own grouse moors, pheasant shoots close to London and a specialist woodcock and snipe Estate in West Wales, together with the many and varied Estates we manage on behalf of their owners, we can ensure that our clients enjoy:-
- Unrivalled high pheasant shooting in the wilds of the West Country, Wales and North Yorkshire
- Traditional partridge shooting in the Fen land of Lincolnshire or higher birds in the Chiltern Hills near London or the South Downs overlooking the English Channel
- Spectacular driven grouse in the North of England including the famous Knarsdale Moors, which produced more grouse in 2001 than any other estate in the UK
- Specialist woodcock, snipe and wild duck shooting in the wilds of Pembrokshire and the South Coast of England
- Classic dry fly trout fishing in the gin-clear waters of southern England
- Exciting salmon fishing opportunities on the northern rivers
An additional bonus for our clients is the exclusive access we have to private Country Houses and Shooting Lodges throughout the Country. The chance to stay in the middle of the shooting Estate with a fully staffed Lodge and the owner of the ground acting as host, always completes any shooting or fishing trip.
With our own office in Oxfordshire, about an hour's drive from London, and the famous E.J Churchill Shooting Ground located close to Heathrow Airport, we are in the enviable position of being able to collect clients from the Airport, take them to a London hotel and then arrange for a practice day on the largest Clay Pigeon Shooting Ground in the Country before they set off to their game shooting destination. In summer the stream-fed lakes surrounding West Wycombe House can provide the ideal start to a fishing trip which goes on to incorporate the famous chalk streams of southern England and the West Country.
In addition to the more traditional driven shooting activities we are also delighted to arrange for days, or even weeks, of rough shooting for both our English and overseas clients. We have a huge variety of Upland Estates offering walked up grouse, snipe, pheasants, wild duck and other quarry which, combined with accommodation in a local pub, make for great fun and great sport for teams of between four and eight Guns.
Well organised non-sporting activities can often make the trip for those accompanying the shooting party who do not always wish to join them on the field each day. For shooting parties located close to London we can arrange shopping trips, visits for famous sights, museums, art galleries and shows. However, many of our trips involve shooting in the West Country, Wales or the north of England. For the non-shooting visitor we can offer pony trekking, guided tours of sights such as Hadrian's Wall in the north or Stratford-upon-Avon in the south and as always opportunities to sample the hospitality of traditional British restaurants and pubs.
