About
The Hawk Conservancy Trust is a full day out for all ages where visitors can come close to some of the world’s most incredible birds of prey!
Visit to enjoy three daily flying displays, talks and activities running every day on the accessible, leisurely-paced timetable. There’s plenty of time between the timetabled displays to explore the Trust’s 22 acres of stunning countryside at a gentle pace, with tarmacked pathways and short distances between each flying arena. There are beautiful woodlands and wildflower meadows to soak in, as well as over 130 fascinating birds of prey in their aviaries to see. This relaxed setting and plentiful daily timetable mean the Trust can be suitable for a whole day, shorter visits, or quick stop-offs.
The on-site eatery, Feathers Restaurant, is an open and contemporary 120-seat restaurant that serves up delicious breakfasts, cooked lunches, salads, sandwiches, afternoon teas and a range of hot coffees and other refreshments. Situated just off the A303, meals can be enjoyed as part of a visit to see some of the UK’s most spectacular flying displays, or simply as a stop-off for a bite to eat without having to pay to come into the visitor attraction. Pre-booking for larger groups is recommended.
