EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of traditional hunting culture in Devon and Somerset during the 1960s. The scene unfolds at Castle Hill in Filleigh, Barnstaple, with a group of experienced huntsmen and their loyal staghounds gathered in a verdant field. Dressed in their distinctive red jackets and jodhpurs, the huntsmen prepare for the hunt, their faces etched with determination and focus. Their horses, strong and agile, stand patiently nearby, their coats glistening in the sunlight. The pack of white-coated hounds, the pride and joy of the hunt, are tethered to stakes in the ground, their noses twitching in anticipation of the scent of their quarry. The rolling hills and expansive fields of the rural countryside stretch out before them, offering ample space for the pursuit of the elusive stag. The sport of hunting, with its rich history and deep-rooted traditions, has long been a cherished pastime in the Devon and Somerset region. This photograph provides a captivating glimpse into a bygone era, when the thrill of the chase, the camaraderie of the hunt, and the beauty of the natural world came together in a harmonious dance. The image is a testament to the enduring allure of the hunt and the deep connection between man, horse, and hound.
