The Burton Hunt

We are very proud of our heritage and traditions and yet operate a modern and friendly hunt working within the confines of current legislation.

The Burton Hunt is a professionally run hunt with full-time Huntsman, Whipper-in and Groom, all of whom are based at the Hunt Kennels in the South of our country in Riseholme, Lincoln.

​

The Burton Hunt is extremely fortunate to benefit from the generous support of a large number of local landowners and farmers, all of whom kindly consent to the Hunt coming across their land which means that we are privileged to enjoy hunting across a large area of North Lincolnshire countryside.  We are also fortunate to have the support of the local shooting community for which we are eternally grateful.

​

Our country covers an area from Lincoln in the South to Grayingham at its Northern border.  The river Trent provides a natural boundary to the West of the country whilst Baumber on the edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds is the furthest Easterly point.

​

We are always pleased to see people new to hunting in the hope that they will enjoy it every bit as much as our members. A popular misconception is that hunting is exclusive and elitist, but we are nothing of the kind. Indeed, people tell us we are a friendly hunt and we very much hope that’s true.
