The Dawnay Estates consist of a group of thriving rural businesses based in some of the most beautiful countryside in Yorkshire.

The Estates are managed with a long term view which includes an acute recognition of the responsibility to maintain the environment. This responsibility goes hand in hand with a commercial and innovative approach to business. Once visited never forgotten - my family have been looking after this little corner of England for almost 350 years.

Dawnay Sporting
The Dawnay Estates offers an extensive variety of shooting opportunities across two Estates: driven grouse over the Danby Moors, and partridge and pheasant shooting over the Wykekam Estate. The shooting is managed in-hand and let by the day and overseen by Peter Snaith, headkeeper at Danby, and Matthew Steadman, headkeeper at Wykeham
