Kirtling Estate

Bacon rolls, tea & coffee cooked and served al fresco in the old keeper’s yard, traditional elevenses also back at the yard, with shoot supper at The Red Lion in Kirtling.

Driven pheasants and partridges through traditional woods, over hedges and game covers on a beautiful Cambridgeshire estate, offering classic, enjoyable sporting birds.

Kirtling sits on Cambridgeshire farmland with soft undulations, with traditional woods, hedges and cover crops providing natural lines for driven pheasant and partridge.

Kirtling is a traditional Cambridgeshire estate managed with wildlife and habitat in mind. We work independently but within the estate’s conservation practices, maintaining woods, hedges and cover crops that support gamebirds and wider species. Responsible feeding and predator control help keep a balanced ecosystem, and shoot days are run sympathetically to minimise disturbance. The result is healthy woodland, strong hedgerows and thriving farmland wildlife alongside classic driven pheasant and partridge shooting.

Kevin Nash runs the days at Kirtling along with a dedicated team. These days are relaxed and informal with everyone meeting together at Upend. Kevin has long been involved with Six Mile Bottom Shoot and also runs his own game shoot at Linton. He is an experienced game keeper and is making his mark at Kirtling producing exciting game bird days.

From the A14 Leave the A14 at Junction 37 for Newmarket and follow signs through the town towards Dullingham. Continue through Dullingham and follow the road for around two miles into Kirtling, then on to Upend.

From the M11 Join the A11 towards Newmarket, then take the A1304 into the town. Continue on the A1303 towards Dullingham, drive through the village, and follow the road directly into Kirtling and Upend.

Upend is a small hamlet, so sat‑navs may announce arrival slightly early. The postcode CB8 9PQ centres on the main lane through the village.

This is our second season at Kirtling and we are looking forward to some exciting driven days in beautiful surroundings.
