Country |
The country is large, stretching between Peterborough in the north and
St Albans in the south , from Tring in the west to Newmarket in the
east. It is the countries of the Trinity Foot and the S Herts and is
not contiguous, the W Lodge Bassets hunting a country around Royston
in the middle. Hunting is confined mostly to the Cambridgeshire Fens
and an area centred on Luton. It is very varied though mostly arable.
The Fens have a distinctive charm and the land around Kimpton and
Ivinghoe remarkably unspoilt so close to London. |
|
History |
The hunt is the result of an amalgamation in 2003 which sought to
continue the tradition of beagling at Cambridge University maintained
by the Trinity Foot and that of hunting in Hertfordshire where the
S Herts country was coming under
pressure from increasing urbanisation |
|
|
The Hunt goes out 2 or 3 days a week and aims to provide sport in a
happy atmosphere. Our hounds are certainly not the prettiest nor the
best but they show good sport close to London. All are welcome. |
