To the Northern School of Game and Wildlife at Newton Rigg!
Over the last 15 years and more recently as part of the University of Cumbria, we have become established as the major provider of training courses and education in gamekeeping and related subjects in the north of the UK.
The ideal location of the Newton Rigg Campus at Penrith in Cumbria gives our students ready access to every resource and aspect of modern game and wildlife (particularly deer and woodland) conservation and estate management.
Unlike some other so called 'Gamekeeping' Colleges, we are proud to be able to offer:
- Our own estates/farms - run with wildlife habitat and game conservation as a priority.
- Our own high quality driven game shoot run by and for students.
- Our own modern game hatchery and rearing facility.
- Our own study forest and woodlands with long term deer management responsibility.
- Our own ‘headquarters’ building with dedicated game and deer larder, gundog kennels and workshops.
- Our own professional standard clay pigeon shooting ground and full bore rifle range.
- Uniquely close contacts with the gamekeeping 'industry' and access to local high quality lowground game shoots and upland grouse estates.
- Specialist experienced gamekeeping and countryside management teaching team.
So why not come and talk to us and have a look around?
We also have regular OPEN DAYS - for these please contact:
