Shooting Hotels in East Anglia

East Anglia is partridge country at its purest. The big Norfolk and Suffolk estates have shown driven partridge of the highest order for generations, with pheasant days through the back end of the season and some of the finest wildfowling in the country along the north coast and the Wash. The landscape is unmistakable — open skies, hedgerow and stubble, flint villages and slow estuaries — and the sporting tradition is woven into the calendar of the region. Cambridgeshire and Essex add wooded estates and well-keepered driven days within easy reach of London.

An East Anglian sporting hotel earns its keep when it sits close to the estates, takes dogs and wet kit as a matter of course, and feeds a hungry team after a long day on the partridges. A view to the morning's stubble is a fair bonus.
