The Woodland Pytchley hunt extends 20 miles East to West and 18 miles North to South. Market Harborough is the furthest point to the North West, where we border the Fernie and Pytchley hunts. The village of Bulwick is the furthest point to the East where we border the Fitzwilliam and Cottesmore hunts, and Irthlingborough is the furthest point south.

Northamptonshire is commonly known as the county of squires and spires and the Woodland Pytchley are fortunate enough to be allowed over some of the county's most picturesque and historical Estates.

Tuesday hunting is traditionally centred around the Southern and Eastern half of the country where many of the large Woodlands and traditional Estates are to be found. The large woodlands enable you to watch the hounds at close quarters and to hear their beautiful cry crash amongst the ancient woodland.

Many of the Saturday meets are based around the Northern and West parts of the country. Here the country is less dominated by large woodlands and is instead a mix of arable and livestock farms, interspersed with small coverts, hunt jumps and some spectacular views across the Welland Valley.
