Falconry*

falconry pictureKinmount's beautiful aviary, one of the first ever built in Europe, has been home to some of the rarest and most exciting birds of prey over the last 200 years. Having fallen into disuse in the 1960's, the aviary was renovated completely in Summer 2001. Currently occupied by various hawks
Falconry days are available by appointment only. Interested guests should contact Kevin Earl.falconry picture

Hunting and Shooting*

hunting pictureKinmount leisure has access to over 25,000 acres of woodland and moorland offering walked up days and driven shoots for 100 to 150 bird days, including pheasant, partridge and duck. Teams of up to 8 guns at a time, from novice to expert, the drive provides varied shooting, which tests the best of shots with high challenging birds in all conditions.
Excellent opportunities for experienced and novice shots for stalking Roe Deer, including bucks and does when in season. Bucks run from 1st April to 20th October. Experienced guides take care of up to 5 rifles. Most shoots take place for up to 4 hours in the morning and 3 hours in the evening.hunting picture
