THE SHOOTS
A WORLD-CLASS collection OF LANDSCAPES AND DRIVES
The portfolio of shoots associated with Loyton are legendary and rightly so.
Our celebrated formula combines breathtaking landscapes and beautifully presented drives with exquisite field hospitality, from elevenses at our iconic Land Rover bars to lunches in our warming shoot lodges.
We welcome both experienced guns and those new to the sport.
Whether you are seeking the high pheasants of Haddeo to the classic partridge drives at Challacombe, you are guaranteed to experience the best in driven game shooting.
Loyton Sporting is proud to be the first in England to be endorsed by the Orvis endorsement programme which is a global quality assurance scheme designed to identify and promote the best in our industry, ensuring Loyton continues to promote its reputation for excellence.
THE SHOOTS
On behalf of the sporting clubs we offer days throughout the season from 1st September to 1st February, including full driven days, smaller boundary days and individual pegs. We also cater to individuals as well as groups.
For the ultimate Loyton experience, members can book a grand tour of all six estates.

Usually, you will arrive the night before your shoot day. If flying or arriving by train, you will be collected by our concierge driver, or you may choose to drive yourself.
On arrival, you will be greeted by the House Manager, who will show you to your room. Your guns and equipment will be locked away in the gun room and you will be offered a welcoming drink before a brief guided tour of the facilities.
Once at the shoot, you will enjoy indulgent hospitality in between the exhilarating drives. Beautifully prepared food and drink are served at the shoot lodges and from our famous Land Rover bars.
For those staying for a few days, you will be escorted back to the lodge (perhaps via one of the many local pubs), where you can enjoy tea and relax before the evening's dinner party, when we'll do it all over again.
The evening will then begin in earnest, with cocktails and canapés served by the lodge staff before you head to the dining room for a delicious dinner, cooked by our excellent in-house chefs and served with accompanying fine wines. After-dinner cocktails around a roaring log fire in the drawing room (or billiards room) will set you up for a deep and restorative sleep.
A full breakfast is served in the lodge before you are led to your chosen shoot by your Loyton host.

Respect for the land,
responsibility for the future
At Loyton Sporting, sustainability isn’t a statement – it’s a standard. The success of our shoots depends on the health of the countryside – and that means we have a duty to protect it.
