Hawk Walk
This unique bird of prey experience is the perfect introduction to the world of falconry, and gives you the chance to experience the rush of handling and flying Harris hawks. On arrival you'll be met by an experienced instructor, who'll run through all the essentials and introduce you to the birds that you'll be flying. With the introductions out of the way it's time to explore the countryside, and as you work your way through the woodlands and fields you'll get to see the birds in full flight. You'll even have the chance to call the birds to your glove, and nothing comes close to sensation of seeing a hawk soar through the air and land on your glove!
Please note Hawk Walks only run between the 1st October through to the 31st March.

Booked a 3 HR flying afternoon for my son and partner as a gift. From the moment they arrived they loved every minute. They were in a small group which they said was great as not only did everyone get enough time to enjoy the handling and flying but also to listen to all the information on the husbandry too. They learnt various aspects of falconry and flew a variety of birds. There highlight was golden eagle and wow what a beautiful bird! Thank you to everyone for making this a special day and your knowledge and love of what you do truly shone through.
We had the most amazing time! Excellent value for money. Very knowledgeable. The Harris Hawk she was beautiful stunning bird! I would highly recommend. We learnt so much. I loved the bird flying to my glove. Fantastic
