Wildfowling in Ceredigion

Ceredigion, United Kingdom

**The Trawsgoed Estate**, near Aberystwyth, Mid Wales offers a few days, part walked up, part driven, shooting each season. The upland estate covers over 5,000-acres, although most of the shooting is done over some 1,500-acres of lower ground on or adjoining parts of Tregaron Bog (Cors Caron). We specialise in walked up rough shooting days where the variety of game is more important than the numbers. Guns need to be reasonably fit and active enough to walk most of the day over rough ground, marshes and wetlands. The skill and experience of the guns will determine the bag shot which can include: pheasant, snipe, mallard, teal, widgeon and hares. After a morning walking, lunch is served at a farm on the estate, either in an outhouse (with an open fire) or in the open field, depending on the weather conditions. In the afternoon there is more walked up shooting or a duck flight can be arranged. This is authentic, old-fashioned shooting, in beautiful wild countryside, and has been described as the perfect antidote to too much driven pheasant shooting where guns are moved from stand to stand in 4 x 4s. Accomodation can be arranged.
