North East Falconry

Here at North East Falconry with close to 14 years experience we can offer a number of falconry experiences, which are suitable for all. Our most popular is Hawkwalks where we go for about 60 minute walk and the bird flys and follows landing on the guests gloved hand. We offer a number of owl experiences for the owl lovers. Remember bring a camera!

An absolute must for bird of prey lovers. My husband and I took the kids on this hawk walk experience. Glenn was incredibly knowledgable and it was an educational and fantastic interactive experience walking, learning, handling and feeding the Harris Hawk. Would love to do this again. The kids haven’t stopped talking about it. Thank you.

I know many birds fly south for the winter but there were still many species to see and enough to feed. It was mud day and our two granddaughter had a great time on the muddy obstacle course, welly wangling and puddle jumping. After the windy walk we visited the cafe for a well deserved cup of tea and cake. Great place to visit and will be returning on several occasions throughout the year. Downy duck days next at Easter.

Lovely little spot to catch wildlife. If your lucky you'll spot the deer and red squirrels. Also good for plane spotters as the airport can be seen from the fields at the back
