Greystoke Castle Estate Shoot

Greystoke Castle estate is a traditional sporting estate dating back generations of the Howard family, the estate is set in 3500 acre's of stunning scenery and fantastic topography available to us with beautiful views of the western fells which were once hunting grounds to the Duke of Norfolk and to the east the pennines, you will find yourself standing on one point of the estate that reaches 1200ft above sea level with stunning views over the estate looking down on to the castle in the distance.

The estate can cater for days of 200 birds up to 400, loaders can be provided along with double gun days if required. Hospitality can be tailored to suit ranging from a large elevenses served in the field right through to a fully catered sit down meal in the stunning castle itself.

Greystoke has from time to time opportunities for single guns to join our existing teams there could also be more pegs available on some days if you wish to shoot with some of your friends, most of our days are usually booked well in advance but as we are are growing shoot there maybe some full team days available also pegs available for single guns so please do send an inquiry if your a single gun or a small team wanting to make a day up.

Each day will consist of usually 4 or 5 drives of gamecrops on the fell ground or mature woodland, pegs vary from standing in gulleys, open fell ground, large fields to standing in a wooden valley next to a stream which winds itself through the wood and in to one of the castle lakes, on certain drives you will be stood in stunning scenery with game crops 1000ft above sea level. Our early days are partridge then as we get in to October pheasant shooting begins with the early days a mix of pheasant and partridge, some of the drives are the nab, The rocks, Rylands and Cuthbert's

Loaders are available if requested.

Teams and guns meet at the castle itself usually at 9am after the guns and guests have had their breakfasts in the guest house on the estate or the local pub. Breakfast can also be arranged at the castle a perfect start to the day. Once the shooting has finished guns and guests are very welcome to head back to the castle and relax in the bar even if your team isn't dining in the castle.
