CHALLACOMBe
BRAY VALLEY SPORTING CLUB
Challacombe in the Bray Valley is recognised as one of the finest partridge shoots in the United Kingdom. Nestled deep in the heart of Exmoor, it offers an exhilarating variety of challenging drives. The astonishingly beautiful landscape sets the tone for the day, which will be impressive yet convivial.
Coveys of partridge and pheasant are flushed out to spectacular effect, the high birds both thrilling to watch and challenging to bring down. Guns move through an ever-changing backdrop, from the moorland’s edge through rolling pasture to wooded valleys, with views that captivate even the most seasoned visitors to Exmoor.
At the heart of the shoot lies the reservoir, where birds are driven across the water, providing dogs with a rewarding retrieving challenge and creating a spectacle enjoyed by guns, handlers, and onlookers alike.
The Challacombe Shoot continues to evolve with exciting new drives – including one that is famously difficult yet in great demand!
“If Challacombe is a model for the driven shoots of the next decade, the future is exciting.”
