Get up close and personal with some of nature's magnificent and regal birds of prey. You'll learn all about the art of falconry and have a chance to try it for yourself. You'll spend a full day at the falconry centre, finding out all about the birds and getting plenty of time to experience falconry first hand. You'll start with a tour of the centre, where you'll get up close to different species and learn what makes a hawk a hawk, a falcon a falcon and an owl an owl. Then you'll get expert tuition in the art of falconry and have time to handle the birds so that you get comfortable with them and they can get comfortable with you. Next it's time to try out falconry for real - you'll fly some of the birds over open countryside, watching them show off their skills and getting some thrills medieval-style when a top predator comes into land on your glove. Lunch is included.
