Set among the combes of the Mendip Hills, Mells Park is one the finest examples of the English country house. The Grade 1 listed parkland and lakes date back to the eighteenth century and provide a stunning backdrop for this long established high pheasant shoot. The natural topography of the estate combined with the strategically positioned cover crops provides a variety of testing pheasant drives such as Keeper Dick's, the Duckery and the Serpentine. Tor Rock typifies the idyllic English country drive with the guns lined-up at the foot of the arboretum with their backs to the lakes. There can be nothing more gratifying than watching the dogs on the far bank dipping in and out of the water to fetch the birds at the end of a hard working day

I have known this shoot roughly 15 years have beat and pick up here. Due to a cancellation a date became available on this estate that is normally booked a year in advance. I cannot recommend this shoot highly enough it has everything that good woodland shoot needs, drives that show the birds at their best well, with quick reactions needed as well as are drives that present challenging high birds. The Keeper has a dedicated team of Beaters and Picker ups, who worked hard on a particularly windy day to show us good birds. The food and hospitality was exceptional.
