This is a fascinating introduction to an ancient and intriguing pursuit. See for yourself an extraordinary relationship between man and bird of prey.

From start to finish you will be in the thick of the action whilst the falconer guides and educates you in aspects of the raptor world.
Programmes and birds vary depending on location, please check on booking.
