300 Hunting Countries of England. 



In the latter covert they once found no less than 

 seventeen different times one season. Charlecote 

 Park is for Fir Tree Hill and Oakley Wood — 

 the line from the latter to Chesterton being a 

 good one, mostly over grass, and frequently chosen 

 by foxes. The best run of last season was 

 from Chesterton, after a meet at Charlecote; and,

 Station — where, every horse being beat, they had to

 — a large wood belonging to Lord Redesdale. The 

 line from here to Ilmington, in the territory neutral 

 with the North Cotswold, is good and nearly all grass

 dominion. Weston House is for Weston Heath and 

 Whichford Wood — foxes are plentiful ; but the coverts
