Bulldog West Country Shovel

The Bulldog West Country Shovel is a traditional round-mouthed shovel from Bulldog's Premier range, designed for agricultural and heavy-duty ground work. This distinctive West Country pattern tool features an extended 54-inch ash shaft that provides exceptional leverage, making it particularly effective for moving loose materials and light digging tasks. Built with a long straight handle crafted from American and German FSC-certified ash timber, this shovel benefits from carefully controlled moisture content to prevent shrinkage and splitting during use. The open socket blade is hardened and tempered for durability, allowing it to handle both digging applications and the movement of materials such as shingle, sand and gravel. With a head size of 11.5 inches by 10.5 inches (290 x 265mm), this British-made shovel follows the authentic West Country design traditionally favoured in specific regional farming areas where the extra shaft length delivers superior working leverage. The quality ash construction combines strength with natural shock absorption for comfortable handling during extended use.
