This is a fascinating introduction to an ancient & intriguing pursuit. See for yourself an extraordinary relationship between man & bird of prey. Falconry was originally introduced as a means of obtaining 'food for the table'. In Medieval Britain birds of prey were often present at grand occasions such as pageants, weddings & jousting tournaments. Seeing these magnificent birds up close is still a very special experience & one which you won't forget.

In the afternoon you will head off into the countryside for a unique afternoon's sport hunting or flying the birds with the falconer. Programmes vary depending on the location. ...
