The Holcombe Hunt has many centuries of tradition and is one of the oldest hunts in the country tracing its lineage back to 1086. Today, the Holcombe Hunt is a thriving organisation that attracts active support from hundreds of people of all ages and from all walks of life. We are law-abiding people, so our activities today conform to the law, but we remain deeply committed to safeguarding the traditions of hunting, the hounds, and the people whose livelihoods depend on hunting. The Holcombe has a professional Huntsman Steven Ashworth and together with his team at Kennels, take a lot of pride to the 22 ½ couple of mixed Stud Book Harriers.
