Shooting
The Estate is proud to offer some of the best game shooting in North Yorkshire, which is still managed fully in-hand.
Choose from:
- Partridge and pheasant shooting across the Wykeham Estates
- Driven grouse shooting over the Danby Moors
We also offer opportunities for fishing.
Hosting guests from far and wide
Our grouse shoots welcome visitors from the UK as well as international guests from as far afield as the Netherlands, Belgium and America.
Pheasant and partridge days appeal to both international and UK guests.
Full teams or single guns are invited to join both shoots.
A warm welcome
All our shoots include hospitality delivered in unforgettable surroundings. Enjoy everything from a sloe gin pick-me-up to a hearty lunch.
