The meet at Standalls Farm
The Kimblewick Hunt covers parts of six counties — Bedfordshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Hampshire, Hertfordshire and Oxfordshire — and is roughly the size of Cornwall. With such a large country, the terrain is varied but includes woodland areas, plough, grass and heathland, with one of their most popular grassland areas being in their Vale country which surrounds the kennels.
The country is well-fenced, with plenty of jumpable hedges and hunt jumps which makes it accessible and good to cross.
The hunt was previously known as the Vale of Aylesbury with Garth & South Berks, however was renamed after the village where the kennels are located, in 2010.
The Vale of Aylesbury was formed followed an amalgamation of the Old Berkeley, Hertfordshire and South Oxfordshire Hunts, while the Garth and South Berks Hunts also joined forces, before they were all united in 2002.
The hunt staff wear the distinctive tawny yellow livery of the Old Berkeley, while masters wear the same colour yellow collars on their hunt coats.
With a solid mastership and great support, the Kimblewick Hunt is well worth a visit.
