| About the West Somerset Hunt |
The West Somerset Hunt Country
The West Somerset country lies in Somerset and extends some 16 miles east to west from the Quantock Hills to the Brendon Hills, and about 12 miles from Washford in the north to Ford in south. Adjoining Hunts are the Minehead Harriers and the Exmoor Foxhounds to the west, the Dulverton Farmers to the south west, the Taunton Vale Harriers to the south east and the West Somerset Vale to the east. The sea lies to the north.
West Somerset Hunt History
Until 1946 the country was much larger, but from then it was divided between the West Somerset (Western Farmers) and the West Somerset (Quantock Farmers). In 1954 the two Hunts became completely independent. This pack retained the name of the West Somerset Hunt; the Quantock Farmers became the West Somerset Vale Hunt.
