FALCONRY
Experience the true art of falconry with our internationally renowned falconer Martin Whitley.
Moor Hawk Walk
Go with Martin and fly Harris Hawks on a breathtaking part of the Moor. Not only do you have the chance to fly the birds in a natural environment, but also you get a real feel for the National Park at its most dramatic. (Approximately 1 ½ hours)
Hunting with Hawks and or Falcons
For those who wish to take the falconry experience one step further; sample falconry in its true form with either a full or half day hunting rabbits and other quarry.
Martin will give you an introduction to the Harris Hawks,dogs and ferrets that will be used.
You will be given your hawk for the day and will be instructed in the basics of how to carry and recall it. Once this is completed you shall move to the hunting area to see the hawks in action.
Guests can also be taken out (in season) to see the incredible aerial flight of large falcons hunting Carrion crows on the moor.
Hunting can be either 2 ½ hour session all year round, or a full day from September till March.
Falconry Experience
An afternoon spent with birds of prey is quite unforgettable. You meet the hawks; observe their individual characteristics and see close up the wonderful partnership that exists between falconers and their birds. You will get to fly a variety of different birds of prey yourself and all the photo opportunities you could wish for (Approximately 1 ½ hours)
