Overview

Set in the Cumbrian Countryside, our unique setting gives travellers an insight into local species as well and the importance of falconry to English heritage. Discover why Kings of England kept the Falconers so close, and the role falconers played in Medieval Britain.

Our experience is personal, with lots of local knowledge about Carlisle and the surrounding Lake District, and families can get up close and personal to our range of birds. It is all set in the outdoors, so great way to get the kids out of the house.

A Family activity is for 2 adults and 3 children. If you wish to bring other adults on this booking you can pay for additional participants when you arrive.

Itinerary

Our Family experience is a one hour activity, introducing you to all the birds of on our site which includes owls, eagles, falcons, vultures and kestrels. We will learn all about their habitats and their behaviour and show the family how to fly the birds, there will even be time for a few pictures as our birds love the cameras. All set in Cumbrian countryside by our expert Cumbrians who have farmed in this land for over a century.

This was a really enjoyable family activity that was interesting and fun across the generations. We were a family group from 4 to 84 years, not previously particularly into birds but we couldn’t fail to be fascinated. Gary was confident, knowledgeable and entertaining and we were able to get really close to the birds, learn about them and fly them. We can’t recommend this enough - excellent value and a really unique experience. Amazing!

Bought an experience for my parents ( 78 and 86) for mums birthday. They really enjoyed every single minute. Gary the owner was wonderful with them, helping them with deckchairs to sit in and meeting them at the car. They loved meeting the birds and flying them and Gary was so patient and kind with them. My parents can't wait to go back and do it all again. This is a wonderful experience, even for an 87 year old! Thank you so much.

So I bought this as a duo-gift for our sons 30th - he flew the birds, and my husbands Christmas gift - he loves photographing birds. Had to re-arrange at very short notice due to weather, but there was no problem and Gary was very obliging. Both our son and my husband had the most amazing time. J flew several birds, and they both learnt so much from a highly informative and very knowledgeable host - Gary. So many beautiful birds led to many amazing photos, and the memories are sure to last. We are looking at possibly organising a stay - they do this too!! Easy to find, hard to forget, highly recommend
