A superb high-pheasant shoot set in a quintessentially pretty Devonshire landscape, Stuckeridge offers a rich and dynamic variety of driven birds with a mix of challenges and delights. 

Steep woodland of oak and Douglas fir flank the Iron Mill Stream, which joins the Exe nearby; elevenses are often held in a charming fishing hut by the water. Across the old iron bridge, the drives open out into sweeping vistas where high-flying birds epitomise the Exmoor experience.  

On drives such as Stuckeridge Wood, guns line the bottom of the valley while pheasants soar spectacularly overhead, testing skill and reflexes. 

The shoot’s warmth and character are enhanced by a close-knit team of friends who form the loading, picking-up and beating parties. Their enthusiasm is infectious, creating a convivial atmosphere that makes Stuckeridge as enjoyable for non-shooting guests as it is for guns.
