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.
