428 The Hunting Countries of England, 



seat of Mr. J. Arkwright, the late Master, is a very 

 leading fixture, and his home- coverts always provide 

 sport for the Hunt — the Kennel- covert. Hell Holes, 

 aaid Wig Wood all being full of foxes. Fordbridge 

 or Hope-under-Dinmore is the usual advertisement for 

 the great woods on and near the Dinmore Hill. These 

 and the coverts round Brierley constitute the chief 

 woodlands of the Country — the names of the most 

 important items being Ivington Camp, West Hope, 

 Burghope, and Wellington Wood (under which last 

 runs the railway tunnel). From Edwin's Wood (the 

 property of Mr. Childs) they go on to draw Breden- 

 bury Plantations, which belong to Mr. H. Barneby, 

 and which are always a sure find, though the owner 

 takes no part in the chase. From England's Gate 

 they draw the wood of Tankard's Walls, with Dewdale 

 Hope to follow. Pencombe is often named; and 

 Ullinswick for Brox Ash and perhaps Duke's Wood. 

 From the Trumpet the draw is likely to be Hennor. 

 Burton -Court and Dilwyn are two meets in the 

 north-west. 



Among the Thursday meets are Sutton Walls, for 

 the fringe of rough covert round the edge of the old 

 Wall Hill Camp, where a fox is generally to be found 

 early in the season. Burley Gate is the probable meet 

 for Morton Wood. Ocle Court is the seat of the 

 present master ; and from it they draw Cowarne 

 (belonging to a good fox preserver. Major Bourne) 

 and Whit wick. These are two celebrated coverts in 

 the best country in the Hunt, and furnish many good 

 runs — often to Hall Court and Cannon-Froome, which 

 last is also a good meet and is the property of Mr.
