Wildfowling in Northern Ireland

Fermanagh, United Kingdom

**WOODCOCK AND SNIPE SHOOTING IN NORTHERN IRELAND** **BELLE ISLE ESTATE** Belle Isle Estate, located in the heart of Co. Fermanagh in Northern Ireland, offers superb woodcock and snipe shooting in a region renowned for its quality sport and unforgettable hospitality.  For those of you who relish wild sport rather than the same old driven game, this is the ultimate shooting adventure.  Getting to Belle Isle is often easier than some Highland Estates which means we are easily accessible.   Situated on a private island Estate on Upper Lough Erne, Belle Isle is a wild bird shoot like no other. Its location on the shores of the Erne waterway mean that Belle Isle can provide some of the finest snipe and woodcock shooting in the West of Ireland. Spread across 435 acres of wooded islands and rushy foreshore, plus a number of traditional Irish bogs nearby, guns will experience a sporting experience like no other, as our team of dedicated and knowledgeable beaters will present driven snipe and woodcock that will challenge even the most experienced of shots! Woodcock shooting occurs in the woodlands on the main island of Belle Isle and can also be arranged at the nearby Baronscourt Estate. Whilst the majority of drives will see guns standing, a number of drives require guns to enjoy driven snipe from carefully positioned boats along the shores of the Erne – a peg that nobody can forget. This unique experience lives long in the memory of many of our guests. Complementing the unique sporting experience is the superb accommodation. During their stay guns and their partners are accommodated in the 16th Century Belle Isle Castle, which has recently been refurbished to offer 6 en-suite bedrooms and 2 twin bedrooms, one with an en-suite whilst the other has a dedicated bathroom. Our chef provides a wonderful 3-course dinner served in the banqueting hall, and our wide selection of fine wines will cater for all tastes. The Castle is fully equipped with complimentary Wi-Fi and Sky television, as well as board games and card tables. Additional accommodation can be provided in the adjacent Coach House. Whilst we make every effort to present a quality shooting experience, the nature of woodcock and snipe shooting means that bag numbers can vary considerably according to the prevailing weather conditions and height of the lough. However, our experienced team and our access to multiple drives means that we will do everything to make your shooting trip a truly unique experience in the heart of the West of Ireland. We look forward to welcoming you!
