Norfolk Hunt Club

The Norfolk Hunt began as a drag hunt in Dedham in 1895 and moved to Dover in 1903. The fact that today we are still hunting over much of the same country despite suburban expansion and development shows Norfolk is truly a part of the countryside. We are hunting over country today that was opened to us through the kindness of the land owners years ago but it is the support and understanding of people who live in the towns in our area that make it possible for our sport to continue. Hunting is exhilarating; it is exciting; more than that, hunting is a way of life. Everybody can participate – children, adults, both young and old. All you need to have is enthusiasm, love of the outdoors and a horse. In fact, you don’t even need a horse. You can follow the hunt by car or on foot and still enjoy the excitement of seeing hounds and listening to their cry.
