Exmoor Hunting

There are at least seven hunts that use the Exmoor National Park on a regular basis - the Devon and Somerset Staghounds, Quantocks and Tiverton Staghounds, as well as the Exmoor, Dulverton West, Mine-head Harriers and Dulverton Farmers Foxhounds.

Pack of Dogs

Hunting with hounds has taken place on Exmoor for hundreds of years.

Exmoor is the only area of the United Kingdom where red deer were hunted on horseback with packs of hounds. Three stag hunts met regularly on Exmoor and nearby areas and eight other packs meet in the Exmoor area.

If you would like to either see a hunt – or avoid one – details of forthcoming meets are published in local newspapers.
