Pheasant shooting in Carmarthenshire

Carmarthenshire, United Kingdom

The historic Edwinsford Estate is located nine miles north of Llandeilo in the glorious Cothi Valley, an area of amazing natural beauty. The shoot flanks the estate’s 5 miles of the River Cothi, and the plantations and ancient woodland provide the ideal terrain for an exhilarating and challenging shoot on the steep valley sides. We can offer 150 to 250 bird days. The estate changed ownership five years ago and is now run by three brothers who, as experienced shots themselves, are focused on ensuring that Edwinsford delivers the full potential promised by the spectacular topography and unspoilt countryside. Over the last few years we have made considerable investment  to renew and improve the infrastructure of the shoot. We have also restored several historic drives, with more planned for coming seasons. The steep, wooded valley means that the team can show some of the most challenging and enjoyable shooting around, with fast, high and varied birds. And when we say “high”, we mean “_high_” - we recommend that guns use heavy loads. In the video above the picture is 5x zoomed in and at one-third of normal speed, which should give you an idea of the challenge our birds can present. We are acutely aware of the environmental and political pressures on the sport and are working tirelessly towards our long-term goal of creating a sustainable wild bird shoot. We, and our whole team, are focused on developing a truly modern estate, fit for today’s requirements and pressures, yet maintaining the traditions of driven shooting. We are passionate conservationists and strive to protect and enhance the unspoilt and diverse natural environment that the estate enjoys. All shot game goes into the food chain. In order to help reduce plastic usage, all spent cartridges are recycled and we ask that only fibre wad cartridges are used. Very comfortable accommodation is available within a few miles of the estate at the Ty Mawr Country Hotel,; The Cawdor, Llandeilo and The Plough at Rhosmaen. We can also offer some accommodation on the estate in a newly renovated cottage and shepherds hut. Edwinsford itself is easily reached from the M4. P.S. We also have fantastic salmon and sea trout fishing on 5 miles of the beautiful River Cothi.
