Hawk Walk

Your experience ticket includes full day tickets for the centre, so you are also welcome to enjoy a flying display during your visit (note displays run wed-sun until the end of october and only on saturdays and sundays from November - February).

Our private Hawk Walks are an incredible opportunity to be face to face, or face to wing, with one of our beautiful trained Hawks, taking place outdoors on the beautiful Newton Park Estate situated in The Duchy of Cornwall's 17th century village of Newton St Loe. 

Guided by an experienced member of our team, you can enjoy the thrill of having a trained Harris' Hawk fly to your glove using easy-to-use techniques. When you arrive at our Centre in Newton St Loe, you’ll be greeted by one of our experienced team who'll take you through a short Health and Safety briefing to ensure your experience is rewarding, safe and enjoyable. 

When we arrive at one of our flying locations, you'll be given a demonstration of how to stand and how to call the Hawk to you safely. The rest is up to you and we'll encourage you to enjoy yourself as much as possible. The whole experience lasts up to an hour, and during the time we'll explain the bird's flying and hunting techniques and answer any questions you may have.
