The Hawridge and Cholesbury Commons Preservation Society cares for 42 hectares of privately owned common land designated as a county wildlife site. their website specifically says that “Cyclists and horse riders: The Bye-Laws clearly state that no wheeled vehicles are allowed to use the Commons and that horse riders must stay on the designated Permissive Paths”, yet every year they allow the notorious Kimblewick Hunt to meet here before going off to hunt the countryside. The Countryside Alliance advertises this meet every year on its Boxing Day Meets website / interactive map. When pressed by activists why they allow a Hunt to trample the Commons, the HCCPS says that “the Kimblewick Hunt is “trail hunting” and that the Boxing Day Meet is supported by the local community, especially by the owners of the pub” – the pub being The Full Moon which as already noted on this site accommodates the hunt and does a good trade on the day. Oddly (and while we haven’t been through every single photograph) the HCCPS’ extensive photo gallery contains lovely photographs of wildlife, but none of the Hunt itself…
