Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 18 reviews
Our aim is to provide our clients with individualised, exhilarating falconry experiences, working in companionship with trained birds of prey over a range of beautiful rural landscapes. These include opportunities to join us for Hawk Walks, where our fully trained hawks and knowledgeable handlers will allow you to witness the marvels of flight close up in small, intimate groups, where the emphasis is very much on clients handling and flying the birds. We also offer photography days and full hunting days with goshawks, peregrine falcons and Harris' hawks.

This is just a fabulous place for all ages. One can walk on the old railway line which is lined with wonderful trees, or you can trail through woods on well kept paths. The wetland is also interesting. Plenty of Crested Newts,Toads,Hedgehogs, and of course lots of ducks.

WOW! I absolutely LOVED it here! I had absolutely no idea that this was right on my doorstep! It's absolutely beautiful! It's so wonderful just to get back to nature and to let yourself be free and explore. You can hear the road in the distance at some points but the further you go in, that sound is largely taken over by birdsong. You could be absolutely anywhere and escape into your imagination! I'd never been here before and I didn't know what I would discover around the next bend! I'm certain that you would discover something new every single time and that it would constantly change with the passing seasons. I only saw 3 other people during my visit, one of whom was the on-site ranger maintaining the trees. Other than that, I was entirely on my own for hours. I walked here from my house but if you do have a car, there's a free car park and there are toilets on site too. I can't believe that this place is here and that it's entirely free! There is a donation box near the entrance but sadly I didn't have any money on me on this occasion. I'll definitely be donating some next time though! Now that I've discovered this place, I'm going to be returning time and time again! Long may Pendeford Nature Reserve stay open! It's truly a hidden gem and it allows you to completely escape from the world for a few hours, which is much needed in these uncertain and stressful times.
