Royal Rock Beagles by John Dalby 1845
The Royal Rock Beagles started in 1845 and were for some time the oldest pack in the UK.

This is a list of beagle, harrier and basset hounds (hare hunting) packs of the United Kingdom, registered with either the Association of Masters of Harriers and Beagles, or the Masters of Basset Hounds Association. Prior to the 2004 Hunting Act, these packs either hunted hare, or in the case of some harrier packs, foxes. Hunts are now obliged to either practice trail hunting, hunt rabbits (as has been the case with many beagle packs) or follow other exemptions set out in the Act.

There are 59 beagle packs and 19 harrier packs in the UK registered with the AMHB. The packs are listed by regions of England
