The Hawk Conservancy Trust is a conservation charity and award winning visitor centre that has for many years worked in the fields of conservation, education, rehabilitation and the research of birds of prey, both in the UK and overseas.
The Trust is set in 22 acres of woodland and wild flower meadow, where there are over 150 birds of prey on view, from the tiny Pygmy Owl to the impressive European Griffin Vulture. Allow at least half a day for your visit as there is so much to see and do.
Visitors are offered three spectacular daily flying demonstrations that enable the participants to get closer to the birds; as well as special activities and events during school holidays and weekends.
There are opportunities for visitors to hold a British bird of prey – children can hold a Barn Owl and adults can fly a Harris’ Hawk - plus visit the UK’s only public Great Bustard enclosure.
There is a Coffee Shop and Trust Shop on site, plus ample free parking, with designated disabled spaces. For more information contact 01264 773 850 or visit www.hawkconservancy.org.
