Leaton Knolls Shoot is located just outside Shrewsbury and under an hour from Birmingham. The shoot covers the Leaton Knolls estate that is approximately 1500 acres. It is made up of a fantastic mixture of woodlands that snake along the steep banks of the river Severn. The main wood land then splits off into 3 other wooded valleys that offer perfect topography for Pheasant and Partridge shooting. Across the estate and either sides of the wooded valleys are nearly 40 acres game covers. These allow the land really to do the work, and catapult the pheasants and partridge. Some off the best know drives are The Dingle, The Spine,Sawmills, and Pig Run Knoll.
We are able to provide days from 100 to 200+ birds. The earlier days start off with a high percentage of Partridge and then move onto a mix of pheasant drives as the season progresses. We are flexible to weekday shoots and Saturdays and can accommodate 7 to 9 guns in a team.
We also run our sister Shoot, Berwick Estate next door where we farm and can therefore offer back to back days, this is similar ground with a lot of game covers producing exciting partridge drives.
We also will be offering more informal days with smaller bags, we are blessed with a great mix of habitats this allows for a great variety of species. These days can be tailored to your needs as an individual or group. These days could also include an evening wildfowling with species such as teal, geese, or mallard to name a few.
Non shooting guests and dogs are welcome. Most drives are in easy walking distance, however if required a 4X4 mule can be provided.
We can offer local B&B for travelling guns. The B&B has been voted by Countryfile, in the top 10 farmstay’s in the UK for a rural break.
We have a variety of dates and bags available listed below if you would prefer to shoot on a weekday there is no problem with tweaking dates to suit the team.
If there are any points or queries please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Ivor [ The Keeper] is very ably assisted by Brian his Shoot Captain and from stepping out of the Car you receive a very warm and friendly greeting. The first two drives suffered a little with bright sunshine and clear skies [ No fault of the Shoot I must add] but after an excellent break for elevenses we entered a very steep gully with a somewhat poetic babbling stream running through. Some of the best snap shooting I have enjoyed for a long time! Both Pheasants and Partridges appear from high over the trees with some splitting and flying down the length of the Gully. Many being saluted and flying on to live another day and well deserved Lunch was taken at the end of the day at Ivor’s Cottage and was Roast Beef with all the usual trimmings with wine readily available if requested. The Meal prepared by Ivor’s better half was as one would expect from traditional Home Cooking…. Excellent My only regret …...I have only booked this one day but may change that and soon! My thanks to the Picking Up Team. Fast efficient and friendly and of course the well run and organised Team of Beaters A day to be remembered

My roving syndicate took a day at Leaton Knolls. It was our first visit and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Ivor was unfortunately let down by 2 beaters on the day but still managed to put plenty of good birds over our team, despite it not being the best weather for showing challenging birds! Brian was a great host. Interesting and jovial throughout the day- though we wish he would drive faster Ivor! :) the beating team and pickers up were also very friendly and had some great dogs working. The refreshments and the food were brilliant and it was a pleasure to have lunch with Ivor and his brothers at the end of the day. Looking forward to more days at Leaton in the future! Best, Will
