Drumbanagher Estate Shoot

drumbanagher estate shoot

Armagh, N.I.

Drumbanagher shoot is rightly regarded as one of Northern Ireland’s premier high pheasant and high duck shoots. The shooting offered has become much sought after by high bird aficionados throughout the island of Ireland and further afield. The birds presented will test the prowess of even the most seasoned Shots and can make or break a sporting reputation in the matter of a single drive. Drumbanagher is a walled demesne situated a few miles south of the scenic village of Poyntzpass in the county of Armagh, Northern Ireland. The historic seat of the Close family, the demesne extends to some 650 acres and is one of the most fertile and beautiful private areas in the Emerald Isle. Sadly, Drumbanagher Castle, the once handsome, primary residence of the demesne, built in 1837 by Lieut.- Col. Maxwell Close is now demolished. However, the large portico, which stood in front of the Italian-style house, remains to the present day and gives a sense of the impressive grandeur of the demesne. Drumbanagher is one of the prettiest expanses of Irish countryside where the steep wooded valleys and tree-lined pastures idyllically lend themselves to superlative driven game shooting. Drumbanagher is easily accessible being situated 35 miles south-west of Belfast and 65 miles north of Dublin and within easy reach of both airport and ferry terminals, with excellent motorway and ‘A’ road links. Local 4-star accommodation can be arranged for travelling Guns.

North Yorks

We are Ed and Amelia. After many years in Oxford, first studying (both of us), then working in archaeology labs (Ed), and running a fun and fabulous pop-up cookery school with the equally fun and fabulous Sophie Grigson (Amelia), we decided the time had come for a new adventure. So here we are. For Ed, it is more of a return to his roots, having grown up on a farm near Kirkby Lonsdale. For me (well, it is Amelia’s kitchen – I think you might guess that it is Amelia who does the social media!), it is a chance to put down some new roots, and thus far, I love it. So who are we? Ed is a chemist by academic background, a farmer by family background, and a curious mind and problem solver by nature. He now works for B4RN, mapping the route for super-fast broadband for the rural North. My history lies in the food, wine, and literature of Italy (specifically Renaissance five-act comedy and the food of Garfagnana, where I also make wine!). My formal food training was a Cordon Bleu diploma at Tante Marie, followed by a couple of years of restaurant work. To complement my food training (and because, let’s face it, I’m a learning addict) I also completed my WSET wine diploma. The highlight of the course was winning a prize for one exam, which involved being taken to Vinitaly in Verona by the lovely people at Liberty Wine. I was already hooked on Italian wine, but that just reinforced the habit!
