“Nestled in a secluded valley beneath the wild tors of Dartmoor National Park, Lewtrenchard Manor is the perfect place to enjoy a relaxing break in beautiful surroundings” (these places are always ‘nestled’, and always the perfect place to explore a ‘national park’). A similar paragraph appears on shooting web business GunsOnPegs, though with a slight and telling change: “Tucked away in a secluded Devon valley beneath the rugged tors of Dartmoor National Park, Lewtrenchard Manor offers a rare blend of history, luxury and tranquillity – the ideal retreat for those who appreciate the finest country pursuits.” There is no mention of killing birds on the Manor’s own website, but presumably the owners know (or have okayed) the description on GunsOnPegs which includes the warm recommendation that “for shooting parties, countryside enthusiasts, or simply those seeking peace and refinement, Lewtrenchard Manor is perfectly placed.” And in our eyes, if you’re not speaking out against the shooting industry, then you’re clearly comfortable supporting it…
