North Yorkshire
Nestled within 4,000 acres of rolling North Yorkshire countryside, just north of Harrogate, the Mountgarret Shoot offers an exceptional driven game shooting experience across two distinctive estates: Mountgarret and Nidd.
Rich in history and tradition, the shoot has been family-run for generations, flourishing during the Victorian and Edwardian eras as a renowned wild English grey partridge and hand-reared pheasant estate. Every drive echoes this legacy, combining the thrill of the chase with timeless sporting elegance.
The estate’s gently undulating landscape has been carefully managed to produce high-quality game. Mature woodlands and strategically placed cover create a variety of challenging and rewarding drives, ensuring every day in the field is both exciting and memorable.
Whether you are an experienced shot or a guest seeking the quintessential English sporting day, Mountgarret delivers an unparalleled blend of tradition, quality, and countryside charm.
