| The
Country |
The
country is mainly grass, some arable, and small farms which are
reasonable to get about.
There are thick coverts of gorse and blackthorns. Small pastures and
woodlands are punctuated by deep and trappy valleys, encompassed by
Atlantic cliffs on the south and the Milford Haven estuary on the
north west. |
| History |
The Hunt
dates from the 18th century. For two hundred years hounds have
hunted the peninsular that makes up the hunt country. For a large
part of those two centuries hounds have been kennelled at the
Cresselly home of the Allen family.
It is recorded that John Bartlett Allen had a pack there in 1788.
But for a few breaks, notably between 1888 and 1893, when the
Mastership passed to Colonel Lort Phillips of Lawrenny, and between
1929 and 1933, when Lord Merthyr and his daughter The Hon Anne
Lewis, were in command, hounds have remained at Cresselly, and are
still there today. |
