MINEHEAD HARRIERS

The Minehead Harriers have long been known as one of the friendliest packs with which to hunt. There is always a very warm welcome for our visitors both riding and on foot and almost every meet is a lawn meet! Our kennels are situated in the village of Wootton Courtenay, near Minehead in Somerset. We trail hunt twice weekly, on Wednesday and Saturday Our country lies within the Exmoor National Park with its many herds of native ponies and red deer.

Hunting near to Dunkery Hill Gate looking towards Wootton Courtenay/Dunster/Timberscombe

We trail hunt over open moorland, pasture and forestry. The country, though small, is diverse, with dramatic views across the sea towards Wales.
To the north, between the attractive villages of Dunster and Porlock Weir the moor drops steeply down through ancient woodland to the sea.

We are now a trail hunting pack since the Hunting Act of 2004 came into force, but the music from our hounds is still quite tremendous.

To come and have a day with us you will need to ring our Secretary.
You could bring your own horse and stable in one of the many yards set up for hunting; most do B&B on site.
Otherwise, treat yourself and stay in a hotel. Then you can hire a horse for your needs.

We look forward to giving you a memorable visit
