Prescombe, Wiltshire
About Prescombe
The Prescombe Estate is without a doubt one of the best partridge shoots in the UK. Situated in the Ebbesbourne Valley to the west of Salisbury, in the heart of the Wiltshire Downs. The Estate covers 3,650 acres, allowing great flexibility and has the ability of showing some tremendous birds.
It is a classic partridge shoot and as the season progresses an increasing number of very high and testing pheasants compliment the partridge.
The topography is made up of a series of deep, steep valleys which, together with some carefully positioned cover, create some spectacular drives such as Hamilton’s, Monty’s and Revenge – a drive that challenges even the most experienced of guns.
The shoot lodge is situated at the centre of the Estate and where teams meet in the morning for tea & coffee on arrival. Elevenses is served in the field, where the Estate provide folding chairs so guns are able to enjoy their mid-morning refreshment.
In the early part of the season, lunch is served outside depending on the weather or alternatively in the conservatory.
As Prescombe has so much variety and drives on offer, teams quite often shoot back-to-back days and stay in one of the immaculately run hotels in the local area.
Testimonials
Superb shooting, great wines and many a jovial story at lunch, Steve and his team really know how to put on a good show.
A great day's shooting and then I was back in London in plenty of time – all in all a very enjoyable day out.
