| Country |
The country is predominantly in Airedale and
Wharfdale streching west into Lancashire. The terrain is fell and
rough pasture with high stone walls.
Adjoining packs are the Claro Beagles, Pendal Forest & Craven
Harriers and the Colne Valley Beagles.
A strong well built hound is required to hunt this demanding hill
country in often harsh weather conditions. Hounds must be capable of
and are expected to be able to hunt every day. |
| History |
The pack evolved from earlier packs, including the
Bradford Harriers to be established in 1891. From 1922 until 1983 in
Eldwick Bingley. They now reside at Silsden. |
