Situated a short distance from the Welsh border town of Welshpool, Old Long Mountain is a well-kept secret. With only a handful of let days each season, the opportunity to shoot there is something to be savoured. Part of Powis Castle Estate, The Old Long Mountain is a quintessential Pheasant Shoot. Pheasants are presented from cover crops, and woodland blocks across the estate.
The first day at Old Long Mountain is in early November and is usually taken by the Original Syndicate who have been shooting there for over 40 years. A remarkable and traditional syndicate who have seen one generation turn into the next as the years have passed by.
Hospitality
The day begins in The Shoot Room at Welsh Harp Hollow at around 9.15am. After coffee and a catch up we boot up, draw pegs and leave for the first drive at around 10.00am. We generally have soup and sausages in the field and shoot through – returning to The Shoot Room afterwards for lunch prepared by our own on site chef.
Topography
Many people will have heard tales of Old Long Mountain, and some of the signature drives including Trinity Wells, The Beaches and Paradise, however few will have experienced them first hand. The quality of shooting across the estate is without a doubt second to none, and a day at Old Long Mountain must be on every keen shots ‘to do’ list.

Mr. Digby Taylor
back again to Old Long Mountain. Faultless yet again! Thank you Will. Will was very generous with the shooting he showed us, giving us enough shooting to have easily increased the bag well over what we paid for, but the birds were too good for us! We shot a new drive for this year which was enjoyed by all the team. I couldn't recommend this shoot highly enough Digby Taylor, GunsOnPegs

What an absolutely cracking shoot! I cannot recommend Old Long Mountain highly enough, everything including the staff, food, quality of birds and last but certainly not least shoot manager Will Horner made this a special day that I will remember forever. It certainly features as one of my favourite days pheasant shooting I have been on.

A fantastic day, very well looked after indeed by Will and the rest of this team. Everything was brilliant. The birds were perfect for our GunsOnPegs day with a few experienced shots - high and beautifully presented. Thank you all at Cambrian, we will certainly be keen to return!
