Clean Boot Hunting In Kent & East Sussex

The Coakham Bloodhounds are one of the oldest Bloodhound packs in the UK, and they hunt over a wide area in Kent and Sussex, with occasional forays into Essex. The  Coakham have been hunting "the clean boot" 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.

Kelvedon Hall, Brentwood, Essex, CM14 5TL

by very kind invitation of Mrs Katie Channon

Time: 12 noon mounted and ready to go

W3W: ///:influencing.next.react.

Directions: We do NOT recommend you use your satnav… better directions are:

From M25, exit at Junction 28 and take A1023 Brook Street up Brentwood High Street. Turn left onto A128 Ongar Road - the cream gatehouse and gates for Kelvedon Hall will be on your left. Ample hard standing parking - so no parking stress!

It’s time for our visit to the exquisite Kelvedon Hall. A day entirely on a single historic private estate, a glorious mix of turf, wide grass headlands and woodlands. Jumping is all fun & all easily avoided - if you’d rather keep your feet on the ground. We will kick the day off with Coakham bubbles and finish with tea, by the log fire in the glorious Kelvedon Hall.  We have had some glorious days at Kelvedon and we are all super excited for this one on Sunday - get booked in early as we expect this meet to be extremely popular given the level of enquiries we’ve had already!
