Falconry: one of mankind's oldest alliances with the animal kingdom; one that, even today, satisfies our desires to regain our lost oneness with nature. Falconry is not a hobby but a way of life that involves continuous learning, problem solving, hard work and dedication; one which though deeply satisfying is also highly demanding.

Our aim is to provide our clients with individualised, exhilarating experiences of working in companionship with trained birds of prey over a range of beautiful rural landscapes, from the farmlands of South Staffordshire to the stunning scenery of the Shropshire Hills and Welsh Borders.

We are not a falconry centre, so we have the flexibility to offer a range of unique interactive experiences. These include opportunities to join us for Hawk Walks, where our fully trained hawks and knowledgeable handlers will allow you to witness the marvels of flight close up in small, intimate groups, where the emphasis is very much on clients handling and flying the birds.

We also offer days aimed specifically at allowing photographers the chance of getting that prized but elusive in-flight photograph. Alternately, during the hawking season (September to March) we offer bespoke falconry experiences, with our hawks hunting rabbit, pheasant and other traditional quarries. Step back in time and witness a day in the life of your forefathers, an experience that you will never forget.
