Royal Rock Beagles
The Royal Rock Beagles was a pack of beagles founded at Rock Ferry in 1845.[1] The pack was used to hunt hare in the Wirrall and subsequently in Wales as the character of the Cheshire countryside changed.[2] It was for a long time the oldest beagle pack in the UK but ceased to hunt in 2015.[2]
