Our Locations
Glennoo Mountain
An area of outstanding natural beauty, which stands at over 1200 feet above sea level. Red Leg Partridge are driven off the heather covered mountain tops and valley sides.
The Red Partridge is not only a beautiful bird but one of the world’s fastest and most challenging. Its vertical take off and the sound of its wings unique. Its flight is both rapid and irregular, it is a smaller target than a pheasant and tests even the most accomplished of shots.

At Glennoo Game Sports we pride ourselves in providing the ultimate driven partridge experience with several of our drives producing truly spectacular high flying birds.

Driving pheasants, partridge and duck is an art form and at Glennoo Game Sports we pride ourselves in the quality and the flying ability of our birds. In many instances, the landscape has been planted with trees and strategically placed cover crops to accommodate the birds and enhance the quality of our drives.
