The Coakham Bloodhounds are one of the oldest Bloodhound packs in the UK, and they hunt over a wide area in Kent and Sussex. They have been hunting "the cleanboot" since they were founded in the 1970s. This means the hounds follow the natural scent of human runners who set off ahead of the pack - no other scent is used (whether animal or synthetic) and there is no killing involved - the runners just get licked at the end of each hunt.
WHAT WE DO: A view 'from up front' is shown in the video from the meet at the beautiful Folkington Manor in March 2022. This video is a tribute to the late Nic Wheeler, MBH who passed away suddenly on Sunday 3rd April 2023, as it shows him working his wonderful pack of hounds close up.
