Ireland – Baronscourt Estate

The Estate consists of 5,000 acres featuring some 20 different drives for Ringed-neck pheasant and mallard ducks. Each drive is distinct from one another and affords guns with very challenging opportunities. Usually we shoot three to four drives per day with a break for refreshments.

Baronscourt meticulously hatches and raises their own pheasants and Mallards making sure only the more vigilant fliers are introduced to the ancient woods surrounding the property. Some hunting stands are located near three lakes in the Baronscourt Valley, making truly a dramatic and unique backdrop for driven hunts. Our line of shooters will have two days of 300 pheasant/duck hunts and one full day of pheasant only at Baronscourt.

For our Non-hunting guests we have planned some unique activities while at Baronscourt, Trek has arranged a package including a walking and historic tour of Baronscourt Estate by Dr. William Roulston who has written a book about the Hamilton Family, a visit to the Maggie Tweed Factory and a tour of its history by a family member and lastly a day visiting the nothern coast including tours to the Giant’s Causeway, The Distillery at Bushmills, Dunluce Castle and Carrick A Rede Rope Bridge among other interests.

Baronscourt is a breathtaking Georgian home constructed in the mid-1600’s and adorned with original paintings of royalty from the 14th century onwards. Recently it has been renovated with new furnishings and artifacts depicting the style for which it was originated, albeit with modern appliances and technology.

This is truly a family home with eight bedrooms, extensive library, game rooms, living room, informal and formal dining areas and various other beautiful common area spaces. The experience of this breathtaking property and our highly curated shooting and touring activities is truly unforgettable, providing memories of a lifetime for the lucky few who join us each year.
