FERNIE

The pack was established in 1858 by Sir Richard Sutton, due to the area he hunted with the Quorn six days a week was too large for the best interests of the sport.
The country is in south Leicestershire - the only shires pack to hunt entirely within the county boundaries. A two-day-a-week pack - Saturday and Wednesday is hunting over a mixture of arable and grass, with more grass west of the Melton Turnpike where there are thorn hedges, ditches and many hunt jumps.

Tuesday is the fashionable day, between Oakham and Somerby, all grass with fly fences, hedges and rails set in rolling Leicestershire countryside.

SOUTH NOTTS

The pack date from 1677 when the country was hunted by the Earl of Lincoln, in 1860 Mr John Chaworth-Musters re-established the hunt.
The Nottinghamshire country is hunted on Mondays, the fences being hedges and rails. The Derbyshire side is hunted on Thursdays, mainly over pasture with walls and hedges. Often before mounting, the meets start and finish inside the pub as the South Notts are a particularly friendly and sociable hunt which makes their welcome for visitors extremely warm.
