Shooting and fishing at Cornwall Castle:
Cornwall Castle has its own highly regarded pheasant shoot with 18 main drives. Each drive offers high, fast and challenging birds with the opportunity for at least two consecutive days shooting (mid-Oct to 1st February). Gun dogs are welcome. Clay pigeon shoots are also available.
Cornwall Castle is lucky to have the winding River Tamar bordering the estate. While it’s tidal at Cornwall Castle, the river upstream is a superb salmon and trout river and offers excellent sport for fly fishermen from 1st March to 14th October. Tuition and guides can be organised for you.
Please enquire about shooting and fishing well in advance of your proposed visit. This way the team can tailor a package to suit your requirements.

River boat trips, 4×4 driving through the estate woodlands, horse-riding on the moors, golf at the internationally renowned St Mellion club nearby, visits to Cornwall’s great gardens (discounted tickets available for some including the Lost Gardens of Heligan and the Eden Project), nights at Plymouth’s Theatre Royal or the spectacular outdoor Minack Theatre on the cliffs at Porthcurno … all can be arranged for you.
