While the West Country may have some fabulous pheasant shoots, there can be no county with more high bird destinations than Yorkshire. And there is nothing new or trendy about them, unlike so many other areas of the country where lots of high bird shoots have been developed in the last 20 years, Yorkshire has always been home to some terrific sport. It’s just that they tend not to tell everyone about it.
Helmsley is lucky enough to sit among some of the best shooting moorland in the UK, and the Black Swan Hotel warmly welcomes guests shooting in the area. The hotel has 45 bedrooms and several private dining rooms. The hotel is also dog friendly* and has a secure gun room for guests to store their guns.
For more information about accommodation for shooting parties, please call the hotel on 01439 770466
* Well behaved dogs are welcome in the bedrooms at a charge of £10 per stay
