The Vale of Lune is a pack of Stud Book Harriers which have hunted in the Vale of Lune between Sedburgh and Lancaster since Captain Foster established the kennels at the Deer Park at Hornby Castle in 1875. The country is a glorious mix of Vale, Grassland and Moor, strongly fenced with hedge, timber and walls. The hunt is home to a Harrier pack and also a new pack of Bloodhounds. We enjoy marvellous days in and around the Lune Valley, courtesy of the many Farmers and Landowners that allow us access to the land. Without them we could not enjoy our sport. The sport we enjoy is suitable for most riders (including children) and horses and ponies, with hedges, hurdles and stone walls to jump if you want (but there is always a way around them!). The hunting year currently runs from early October to early March, meeting every Wednesday and Saturday. There are also social and other activities to enjoy all year. We would love to see you out sometime with us, either mounted or following on foot, bicycle, quad or car
