Bettws Hall United Kingdom Vaynor Park is a traditional parkland shoot set in Montgomeryshire in Mid Wales. Home to the Corbett-Winder family for generations, William Corbett-Winder can still be found hosting days on this truly stunning estate. The road rises up from the gatehouse in the valley bottom through traditional parkland and eventually reaches the summit. It is here that you are graced with your first glimpse of the 15th century Hall sitting proudly over its grounds. The Victorian Mansion originally built of timber and stone was rebuilt in brick in 1640. Two centuries later John Lyon Winder asked the Montgomeryshire County Surveyor, Thomas Penson, to rebuild the house again, in Jacobean style. The views of the surrounding countryside are far reaching and simply stunning. A typical day will begin with the guns enjoying a leisurely breakfast in our sporting lodges. The team will then assemble in the courtyard and begin the very short drive to the Vaynor estate where tea and coffee will be served. It is here that pegs will be drawn and the order of the day will be revealed before proceeding to the morning drives. As with all of our estates, hospitality matches the sport, so Champagne and canapĂŠs precede a wonderful home cooked lunch back at the lodge before the afternoon shooting commences.
