Shooting and Fishing at Lough Cutra Estate
* Shooting
Both Driven Pheasant shooting and Deer Stalking are available at Lough Cutra by arrangement. Many of the woodlands at Lough Cutra were planted specifically with shooting in mind and thus offer great sport in a convenient location. At the end of the nineteenth century Lough Cutra was famous throughout Ireland for the quality and number of woodcock presented. There is a full time game keeper on the Estate who ensures that all guests are extremely well looked after.
* Driven Pheasant
The pheasant shoot was established in 2001 by Dromoland Game Sports who run the famous and very successful shoot at the Dromoland Castle Estate in County Clare. On an average day the bag includes Pheasant, Woodcock, Duck and Snipe.
* Deer Stalking
The fallow deer at Lough Cutra are plentiful. They can be stalked on foot or from high seats positioned at vantage points around the Estate. There are mature heads for trophy hunters and local victuallers will harvest the deer by arrangement.
* Fishing
As the 1000 acre lake of Lough Cutra is private it has not suffered the same fate as many other lakes in the region - it has not been over fished. There are pike, perch, carp and some large trout as well. Even the most inexperienced angler is going to catch something! There are a couple of boats which are available for use by our guests, while fishing from the shore can also be very successful. Should anglers get tired of the fishing they can go and explore any of the dozen or so islands dotted around the lake.

Horse riding is the perfect way to enjoy the beautiful 500 acre Estate which surrounds Lough Cutra Castle. The estate has a good range of equestrian facilities which include stabling for 10 horses, a new sand arena/schooling ground and an excellent cross country course. Hunting can also be arranged with Galway Blazers and the North Clare hunt.

The cross country course was designed by the internationally renowned Tommy Brennan. The course is c.2.5 miles long and includes 34 Jumps with 56 Options - natural fences designed to challenge all from the inexperienced to professional riders. The course winds its way through woodlands, part of the lake itself, the arboretum and across meadow and pasture allowing riders and spectators to really appreciate the beauty and diversity of the Estate. Tommy Brennan has also designed the cross country element of the Punchestown 3 day event course, and is responsible for the cross country course at the 2006 Olympics in China.
