Hunt Country

Hunt Country:

Combined Pytchley and Woodland Pytchley country as of merger The country, which lies in Northamptonshire and Leicestershire, extends some 20 miles north to south and 25 miles east to west. It is stiffly fenced country, the natural fences being largely thorn hedges with a ditch to one side, and the made fences of solid timber. There is still plenty of grassland spread throughout. A bold blood horse will cross the country best. Best centres: Market Harborough, Holcot, Everdon and in the centre Guilsborough. Adjoining Hunts: to the west the Warwickshire; to the north the Fernie; to the north east and east the Woodland Pytchley; to the south east the Oakley; to the south the Grafton; and to the south west the Bicester with Whaddon Chase Woodland Pytchley country he country, which lies in Northants, extends some 20 miles in greatest length north to south and about 18 in greatest breadth east to west. It is a flying country, and requires the best stamp of hunter. A great part of the old pasture was ploughed up in the War, and the country is now a mixture of pasture, a number of large woodlands and a proportion of set-aside. Many inviting fences have been built. Best centres: Kettering, on the Pytchley borders; Market Harborough, commanding meets of the Fernie and Pytchley; Oundle and Thrapston on the Fitzwilliam border. Adjoining Hunts: the Cottesmore and the Fernie to the north; the Pytchley to the west; the Pytchley and Oakley to the south; and the Fitzwilliam to the east.
