Hidden down a country lane from the wonderfully named Luggiebank village you'll come across a rather discrete wee entrance to this outdoor activity & falconry centre. It's very much a farm site so you'll need to dress for it but it's all in keeping with these birds' preferred natural habitats
- & this is the countryside after all! Open to the public there are up to two flying displays per day here in Cumbernauld. This gives visitors of all ages the chance to see a variety of different birds in the flying arena. No two displays are the same as the birds selected to fly changes with each show. These birds of prey experiences at this friendly centre between Glasgow & Falkirk give you the chance to go beyond just being a spectator & actually get involved. We've got a full range of falconry sessions for you to choose from at World of Wings in Cumbernauld. All include entrance to the centre so you can have a wander around the aviaries & visit the excellent onsite Cabin Cafe for one of their legendary hot chocolates or a bite to eat whilst the children play in the little games area. The introductory encounter is the Hawk or Owl walk option. You'll still have a good one hour & a half hours with the birds & time is spent going on a little wander around the Cumbernauld countryside with your owl or hawk accompanying you. Then there are the half & full day birds of prey sessions. These allow you plenty of time to meet get close to & fly several species of raptor. They both also give you a good insight into the work of the falconer & what life is like for both the birds & their trainers. The ' Ultimate wingspan experience' at World of Wings gives you exclusive access to the birds (and the humans who look after tham!) for a truly VIP private visit to this Cumbernauld centre. You will be able to invite up three people to come & join you for what will be a private half day of meeting learning about & flying the birds
- & of course there's all the time to ask all the questions you've ever wanted to!

This isn't just any falconry experience in Wales it's a just for you falconry day! What we love about this falconry experience in Powys is the fact that it is exclusive to you very chilled out & in a superb setting. These one to one falconry sessions are the very best mid-Wales has to offer & you can either go solo or as a pair to enjoy the afternoon together. If you're already familiar with Machynlleth in Powys you'll know what a lovely place it is. If you're not these falconry experiences are the perfect excuse to get to know this fascinating part of Wales. There's lots going on here (check out the Centre for Alternative Technology) & a real community feel to this Welsh market town which makes a day out discovering the ancient art of falconry all the more enticing. Your hosts for these falconry sessions are Barry & Luce. Originally from Machynlleth Barry has worked around the world in the realms of conservation ornithology as a safari teacher & tour leader. Now back in the rolling Welsh countryside of Powys Barry works with Luce tending to their birds of prey & promoting their conservation efforts. Luce specialises in animal behaviour & environmental issues & she has been involved in exotic species for many years. Together they are a dedicated & passionate team caring for their family of raptors. So it's with the Cambrian mountain range as you backdrop that you will be invited to meet these majestic birds with Barry & Luce. You might meet the likes of Lakota the Bald Eagle Isca the Red Kite Maggie the White Faced Owl & Altai the magnificent Golden Eagle who also happens to be a film star! All the feathered residents here in mid-Wales have been bred in captivity & your hosts will explain to you why this is an important measure in the conservation of the species. & whilst you get to know the individual characters & personalities of each bird you'll also learn lots about looking after birds of prey & the relationship between bird & falconer. It's truly fascinating stuff & remember each falconry experience in Wales is hosted on a one to one basis so it'll just be you the birds & the falconers. Over the course of the afternoon you will get to meet & fly a wide variety of raptors including the mighty Eagles & cute-as-a-button Owls too! ...
