The birds put down at Clovelly come from a closed flock and have been of the highest quality, which is reflected in the shooting we produce.

Deep wooded valleys rise in some places to over 400 feet above the guns with some of our drives bordering the cliff edge and seas. We operate two main beats, the much reputed 'Hobby Beat', offering exhilarating shooting and some of the most challenging birds. Many guns will have encountered the 'Mouth Mill Beat', bordering the sea in parts, and offering quality and skilful shooting for all. It is continuing to gain a great reputation.

Clovelly is based on the N.Devon Coastline, between Barnstaple and Bideford (good access to the M5). A truly magical place. Guns frequently comment that the setting and locality is unrivalled.
 

A visit to Clovelly is most definitely an experience and one that previous teams and their guests  thoroughly enjoy. The village is unique and often used in film making for periodic and original settings. The scenery is truly stunning.
