When you visit the beautiful Cotswolds, one of the things you are almost certain to see are some of our native ‘Birds of Prey’. We have put together an exclusive opportunity for you to get closer to these beautiful creatures with our ‘Walk with Hawks’ experience on a local farm.
You will be collected from your hotel and taken to a local farm where you will be introduced to a number of birds of prey which may include Hawks, Eagles, Falcons, Raptors and Owls. Once you know how to handle the birds safely, you will be taken on a walk around the farm amongst the sheep and vegetables, where you will have an opportunity to see these spectacular birds in flight, and to handle them yourselves, while they work.
The experience is very hands on and the birds are constantly coming down from way above and stopping on your glove for food. We have yet to find a better falconry experience in Britain, this private natural environment created on a farm with stunning views makes for the most incredible photos and creates a lifetime of memories.
This experience usually lasts 1.5 hours so we’ll tie this experience in with the famous North Cotswolds region for the rest of the day. We can show you off the beaten track villages, glorious gardens, historic castles, unspoilt landscapes, boutique farm shops, dreamy thatched cottages, local characters, private manor houses and an abundance of animals. The day is yours and your expert driver guide throughout the falconry experience and day is at your disposal.
