TRAIL hunting on land owned by the Lake District National Park Authority (LDNPA) is set to be suspended indefinitely, it has been confirmed.

An LDNPA spokesman said: "Officers made the decision and, at a briefing, members expressed support for their decision.

"This continues the suspension which has been in place since November 2020."

Trail hunting is restricted by law to exercising hounds and having them follow artificial scents or 'trails'.
