What Our Visitors Say

Booked the experience for my fathers birthday as he loves birds of prey and used to own some. Me and my sister ended up loving the day just as much. Ryan was a perfect guide which really made the experience even better. Had was knowledgable , very welcoming and ensured eveyone was having the best experience. Highly recommend the full day experience and will be going again soon.

Fabulous day at the Hawking Centre. Reece’s enthusiasm and knowledge shine through and make the day a day to remember. Got to fly some lovely birds, Moet was my favourite. But also loved the Harris Hawk!

Wonderful day. Reece was a fantastic guide- so knowledgeable and enthusiastic. I absolutely loved flying all of the birds especially Arthur , the eagle owl who was happy to be stroked, Xavier the bald headed eagle and Maggie the hooded vulture. Can’t recommend it highly enough. Book it.

Fantastic half day VIP experience for our 12 year old son. Bradley, our guide, was friendly, knowledgeable, passionate and enthusiastic. Flew owls, vulture and eagles. Wonderful experience, highly recommended.

What a fantastic day and birthday present from my wife. Paul the falconer was extremely knowledgeable and explained everything about the different birds of prey. It was a 3 hour experience which went too quickly. I highly recommend this experience for anyone and I would go back again.

Absolutely amazing experience. Despite a mild fear of birds, it was handled in such a way to ease any fears. Reece, the handler, was incredibly knowledgeable and had a great sense of humour and an obvious love of his job. A fantastic afternoon from start to finish, in a gorgeous setting.
