Had an absolutely brilliant time here for my mum's 50th birthday present. Ryan and the team were fantastic. Made us feel welcome from the second we got there. The birds are so well looked after and loved. My mum handled many more birds than she was expecting and thoroughly enjoyed the whole day. She was a little nervous around some of the biygger birds of prey but was put at ease straight away. We were given facts and information about each day, but in a way that it didn't feel like a lecture. I was just a spectator, but even I had a brilliant time and the lunch was delicious (and massive!). Would thoroughly recommend and have started hinting for my own birthday now!

Friezley Wood

Reviewed By hawkes2an - Cranbrook, United Kingdom

At one time, timber was very important to Kent. In this part of Kent, around Cranbrook, as well as being used for heating and cooking, timber was used for both housebuilding and shipbuilding and also as fuel for the huge Wealden iron industry. The iron industry has long since gone but timber is still used for domestic fuel and coppicing, which is also a benefit, for wildlife and flowers produces a sustainable supply of wood for fencing. Friezley Wood, near Cranbrook, along with nearby Brewers Wood and Hillywood, and, not that far away, Angley Woods and Comfort's Wood, are just remaining bits of the once great forest that used to cover the High Weald of Kent. Friezley wood, along with those others woods, is just great for dog walking and getting out and about in the great outdoors. There are paths and trails both through the woods and also round and about in the neighbourhood but be warned, in we weather they can get very muddy.

Groombridge Place Gardens

Groombridge Place has lovely walled gardens overlooking a 17th century moated manor house. The Enchanted Forest has something for all ages from Crusoe's World with its tree houses and rope bridge. The boardwalk also in the forest is a popular play area with its zip wire and rope swings. The giant tree swings are popular with young and old alike. Two birds of prey displays daily when the attraction is open (see website for details and special events in school holidays) Don't miss our famous Zedonk (half Zebra and half Donkey).

Great family day with plenty of space to social distance and precautions in place for the bird show. The bird show was brilliant enjoyed by the children and adults.
