Owned by the Drax family (whose history of using enslaved Africans on their sugar plantations has led to calls for reparations) Charborough Estate “is a traditional rural estate located in South Dorset…[it] has a rich and colourful history and is now host to an increasingly wide range of activity.” As regular visitors to this site will know, descriptions that contain the words ‘traditional’ and ‘rural’ often mean connections with hunting and/or shooting. Charborough has both. Currently owned by hardline Tory Brexiter Richard Drax, the Conservative MP for South Dorset between 2010 and 2024, Charbough runs its own shoot and Drax (a supporter of fox hunting who is estimated to own 2% of Dorset) is regularly called ‘the landlord of the South Dorset Hunt’.
