High and Low Cotherstone Moors, situated in one of the finest parts of the Pennines, are renowned as premium Grouse moors. They are totally natural, with no man-made roads or objects. Surrounded by the famous moors of Wemmergill, Holwick and Bowes, Cotherstone extends to over 6,200 acres (2,504 Hectares) and was acquired by Joe Hall in 1984. The Low Moor adjoins Cotherstone Village, some five miles from the market town of Barnard Castle.

Over the years, French partridge have been released on the edge of the Low Moor to provide an exciting variation of Grouse and Partridge drives later in the season, providing testing birds over ravines. Lunch on the Low Moor is taken in the game larder adjoining the Underkeeper's house.

The panoramic and unspoilt view from the High Moor over the Tees Valley is spectacular, taking in the three reservoirs of Balderhead, Blackton and Hury, where Rainbow Trout abound. 

Numerous improvements have been effected in recent years including ploughing and reseeding, the complete rebuilding of all butts and the creation of new ones for additional drives. Extensive tree planting has been undertaken to encourage Black Game and the construction of a flight pond for Duck. A number of temporary fenced trial plots have also been created for heather regeneration.

The most recent and obvious improvement, which has dramatically improved the bags, has been the reduction in sheep numbers in conjunction with English Nature, who now take an active role in the long term recovery of heather at Cotherstone Moor.

Up to ten different species can be shot and in addition to the single or double-driven days, a limited number of walked-up days are available.
