Celebrated as one of the finest high-pheasant shoots in the United Kingdom, Haddeo first rose to fame under the legendary Sir Edward (Ned) Goschen, when it was known as ‘Pixton.’ For decades, it has been regarded as a benchmark for world-class shooting, with national and international acclaim.  

The 6,000-acre estate unfolds across the majestic Exe Valley, where rolling hills, riverbanks and woodland glades create a stage as dramatic as the sport itself. The Haddeo and Exe Rivers wind through the property, with the historic ford at Bury adding charm and challenge to the terrain.  

Famed drives such as St Paul’s deliver a steady flow of spectacularly high, soaring birds, visible well above the treetops, creating a truly unforgettable experience for both sportsman and spectator alike. A day at Haddeo is an intoxicating mix of heritage, spectacle and skill — the sort of well-spent time that lingers long in the mind.
