The falconry is involved in the rescue and rehabilitation of wild birds of prey as well as education of the ancient art of falconry. Under the guidance of a local falconer you will be introduced to their birds and taken on a short walk into the countryside to have the unique experience of flying a hawk. Your guide will be on hand to help take photos. You will spend approx. 60 - 90 minutes at the falconry depending on how quickly you feed the hawk! After the experience you will be driven back to Bath. The falconry experience is not suitable for children under 8 and is subject to favourable weather conditions. In the event of unsuitable conditions there may be the opportunity to fly owls indoors instead. If you prefer to fly owls instead of a hawk please let Bath Insider Tours know in advance.
