Badgworthy Crossing, Devon and Somerset Hunt Area, 1936: A Timeless Scene of Fox Hunting in the British Countryside This evocative photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, as the Devon and Somerset Hunt gathers at Badgworthy Crossing in the heart of the West Country in 1936. The scene is one of rural tranquility and tradition, as huntsmen and hounds prepare for the chase through the rolling hills and verdant fields of Exmoor. The image is framed by the gnarled branches of ancient trees, their leaves turning golden with the onset of autumn. The huntsmen, dressed in their distinctive red coats and tall black hats, stand with their horses at the ready, their faces a mixture of determination and anticipation. In the foreground, a foxhound gazes intently at the trail, its ears pricked and nose to the ground. The hedgerows and stone walls that crisscross the landscape add to the sense of history and tradition, as does the quaint wooden gate in the distance, which marks the boundary of the estate. The hills in the background rise majestically, their rugged beauty a testament to the raw power and wildness of the natural world. Badgworthy Crossing is a reminder of a time when the pursuit of the fox was a cherished rural pastime, a tradition that had been passed down through generations. The photograph transports us back to a simpler time, when the pleasures of the countryside and the thrill of the hunt were the focus of everyday life. This image is a must-have for anyone with an interest in British history, rural landscapes, or the traditions of the West Country. It is a stunning addition to any collection of illustrations or books on the subject, and a reminder of the enduring appeal of the British countryside and the rich heritage of fox hunting.
