Hunt facts: Old Berks

23 January, 2006

Hunt: has existed in its present form since it was first constituted in 1830. Before then, the countries now hunted by the Old Berks and the VWH were one, and date back as far as 1760

Country: covers a portion of Oxon around Wantage. It is mainly arable and grassland

"Ideal hunting conditions in our vale country are when Rosey Brook has burst her banks and the water level is about 6in above the ground," H&H columnist Marcus Armytage

Hounds: A mixed pack. "Bred with the chase in mind, as opposed to rosettes at Peterborough," H&H columnist Marcus Armytage
