Higher Crockham Farm Clays

Tea and Coffee and biscuits on arrival at the Pound House at bottom of farm with parking. Elevenses if asked for/port in a flask. Lunch with one drink and one main course at my Pub The Palk Arms, Hennock one mile away.

This shoot is designed for those who are near novices but who have a gun licence. Also for those who want an out of season social and practice., or honing skills. A Licenced instructor available at extra cost (please enquire). A relaxed atmosphere, fun day out with variety. However will run one location with two traps and fast.

Higher Crockham is a hilly livestock farm with two challenging elevations firing at 60 and 80 foot high. Also left to right at 50 foot in a Dell, coveys of partridge over high hedges and sprung teal/duck simulation. so very varied.

I can hire one gun whether 12 bore or 20 bore. Insurance cover for one gun with instructor present. Yes more expensive BUT a lot safer.

Included in the price is hospitality (drinks, elevenses, lunch main course) and clays. Instructor quoted separately (recently £80 or so) Cartridges down to the guns attending.

The farm owner is the host. Great personal attention, structured properly but not overly formal as expected to be instructive and fun.

Non shooting guests can either stand with their friends the gun(s) or I could organise a farm walk describing how we operate the farm, bio-diversity, woodland management, changes to bird life over the last 25 years of ownership, and current challenges to the future of farming with climate change. There are of course other local sites to visit like Canonteign Falls a mile away, Teignmouth beach with pier, Exeter Cathedral, House of Marbles 4 miles away and so on.

Nearest station Newton Abbot 7 miles or Exeter st Davis 10 miles. Buses from either to Chudleigh from where can be picked up

The Farm is around 700 foot above sea-level with glorious views of 10 miles or so up the Teign Valley and across to South Devon and Chudleigh.
