Bywell Estate Shoot Wins 2017 Gold Purdey Award

The Bywell shoot in Northumberland has won the 2017 Purdey Gold Award for Game and Conservation.

Viscount Allendale, who, along with his son, the Hon Wentworth Beaumont, owns the Bywell estate, was presented with the trophy and £5,000 by BBC Countryfile star Adam Henson at a ceremony in the Purdey Long Room in London’s Mayfair last week.

The annual awards celebrate the best game conservation projects in the UK and are judged by a panel of industry specialists, led by the Duke of Wellington.
