Duke of Beaufort's Hunt

The Duke of Beaufort's Hunt (the Beaufort) is one of the oldest and largest of the fox hunting packs in England. It was founded by the 1st Duke of Beaufort in 1682 and continues^[update] under the auspices of this family.^[1] When the sport of foxhunting was made illegal by Parliament in 2005 the pack changed its rules to hunt within the law.^[2]

The Beaufort hunts some 760 square miles (2,000 km²) in Gloucestershire and Wiltshire, centered on the Duke's estate at Badminton.^[1] Hunting occurs on about 125 days per year, usually 4 days a week during the season.^[1]
