A day out with a difference!

The Hawk Walk

We have around 60 acres of countryside that we can use to fly our hawks. A Hawk Walk is the perfect way to experience first hand how to fly and handle a bird of prey. This is a totally 'hands on' experience.

This is approximately an hour walk around some of Derbyshire's beautiful countryside with one of our Harris Hawks.

While walking you will learn all about the Harris Hawk and how they live and hunt in the wild. All the time calling the bird down to the fist for a piece of food.

This activity is called a Hawk Walk, but the emphasis is on the Hawk and not the walk. We do not have a set route to follow and you can go at your own pace! Suitable for even those who don't like exercise!
The hawk walk is available to adults and children over the age of five years (children under 16 must be accompanied by a full paying adult)

Prices: Adults and Children £25 per person.

Pre-booking is essential. Book online here

Suitable outdoors clothing and good strong boots (Wellingtons in the winter) is recommended at all times
