Were you out recently with the North Cotswold or South Durham? [PICTURES]


  • Were you out recently with either the North Cotswold or the South Durham when the H&H hunting correspondents paid a visit? If so, why not take a look at the galleries below to see if you were spotted by our photographers.

    North Cotswold

    Despite a good covering of snow on the day the H&H correspondent visited, it was business as usual. Often described as “one of the most notable of the smaller hunts”, the North Cotswolds dates back to 1772.

    Centred on the town of Broadway, the hunt country covers approximately 250 square miles of the northern end of Gloucestershire and the Southern corner of Worcestershire.
