Description of Country
The country lies in Kent and Sussex embracing the Old Surrey and Burstow, West Kent, East Sussex and Romney Marsh, Ashford Valley and Southdown, and Eridge countries. It includes a variety of terrain including downland, woodland and farmland. The country is well fenced and provides plenty of jumping over natural hedges, ditches, water, and fixed timber. No particular type of horse prevails but it should be fit and capable of sustaining hunting pace for long periods. A bold but sensible horse will prove to be the most enjoyable conveyance.  

History
The hunt was formed in 1976 and was owned and run privately until the suden death of its founding Master. From 1985 - 1990 the hunt was run by joint masters with Committee backing. In 1990 the Hunt assumed entirely amateur status funded by the Committee and administered by the joint masters and elected executive officers of the committee. Hounds hunt the clean boot.
