We offer our guests by appointment the opportunity to handle/fly: Hawks, Owls,Falcons, Kites and even a Critically Endangered Vulture in natural settings. These experiences are very hands on, the emphasis is on you getting as much time handling and flying our raptors.
Imagine a barn owl floating gracefully over a field, then gently landing on you gloved hand.
How about taking a hawk for a walk, through some ancient woodland. Watching him weave through some tight gaps, to land on your hand.
Then watch a falcon take to the sky, as he mounts upto 2000feet, then fold his wings as he stoops back to earth, or chase a well garnished swing lure.
These experiences are not just a falconry experience! But a real insight into understanding raptors.
Rated excellent on TripAdvisor and the no1 bird of prey experience in Sussex.
And, all this take place in the wonderful grounds of Herstmonceux castle
