Richard Hill, Master of the Clifton Hunt at the New Year meet at the New Inn, Clifton.

The Clifton-on-Teme Hunt, active since 1920, continues to enjoy strong support locally despite the legislation to ban it that hunting now has to contend with. They meet on Wednesdays and Saturdays from September until March.

The new joint Masters this season are Richard and Clare Hill. Richard has been Master/ Huntsman of the Stoke Hill Beagles, Spooners and West Dartmoor and latterly Joint Master/Huntsman with his wife Clare at the Vine and Craven. The hunt has a very strong Supporters Club who run various fund-raising events throughout the year, supported by the local farming community as well as hunt members.

The Clifton-on-Teme Hunt holds some 60 meets each season, having a reputation for rough terrain and 'wild and stout' foxes. New members, both on foot and mounted, are welcomed.

The kennels were at one time at Court House, Shelsley Walsh (hence Kennel bend on the Hill Climb). Today they are at Tedstone Delamere, on land generously donated by the Belville family.

There is also a programme of social events, including the Hunt Supporters' Dinner (see Events page).
