Kelbrook Lodge is a traditional shooting box set in its own grounds on the Lancashire/Yorkshire border. It is located 8 miles west of the market town Skipton, the gateway to the Yorkshire dales.

The M65 link is only 12 minutes away, giving easy access to Leeds, Manchester and Preston.

The Lodge itself was purpose built in 1908 for shooting entertainment days by Edward Carr, a wealthy local lawyer. Over a century later it is still used for this Victorian tradition, now one of the fastest growing sports in the UK and a popular way of entertaining business associates, friends and family.

Kelbrook is now a family business run by Michael Meggison, a member of the British Olympic shooting team in 1980 & 1984, his son Aaron, himself having had great success on the British team, and daughter Penny, twice British University Champion and instructor for her University team.
