Trail hunting on our land

Following a thorough review, United Utilities has concluded that it will no longer issue licences to trail hunting groups. In coming to a decision on this complex matter, we considered several factors including local stakeholder views and an assessment of the resources required to facilitate and monitor trail hunting. 

Licences are not required to cross our land if groups and / or individuals remain on bridleways or other public rights of way.

We encourage anyone who has any information about illegal activity to report this to the police as it is the police that is responsible for investigating and prosecuting this. We will facilitate any investigations the police wish to undertake on our land as we take reports of trespass and/or illegal activity very seriously.
