⭐️ NEW HAWK WALK EXPERIENCE ⭐️

We are now offering a new Hawk walk experience with one of our awesome Harris Hawks!

Hawk walks are always a favourite with guests on our half and full day experiences, so we have decided to make it an experience in itself. We will still be doing Hawk walks on our half and full day experiences, but with Autumn closing in we thought it is a great time to offer this experience for people who may not want to spend a whole half/ full day with us as the temperature drops.

So what is a Hawk walk Experience?

• The Hawk walk is a 60-90 minute experience depending on the weather and mobility of the group.

• It is a private session for up to 4, meaning only your group will be in attendance. Please contact us if you would like to add more than 4 participants.

• We will be flying one of our Harris Hawks through the estates grass meadows, ancient woodland and stunning gardens.

• You will experience the Hawks not just following us round the estate flying and acting like they would in the wild, but also flying to your hand multiple times!

• We believe this experience is going to be great for people wanting to experience birds in a wild setting.

• Ideal for family and friendship groups, also work parties looking for something different to!

• Day entry into the estate is also included, subject to the estates open season.

Immerse yourself in the Hawk Walk experience—a captivating 60-90 minute adventure, tailored to your walking style and weather conditions. You can invite up to 4 participants for this private experience; for larger groups, please reach out to us before purchasing. Our Hawk Walks consistently rank a...

Pip our Asian brown wood owl is coming along nicely. She is really getting the hang of being out flying in the woods. She still definitely needs to work on her landings a little more but she has done amazing with guests this summer and is definitely becoming a favourite with the guests!

She still has a lot of fluff as you can see from the picture, but new immature feathers are growing through everyday.

On the 7th and 8th of September my Partner Rebecca and her sister Tasha are taking part in a 100 Km ultra marathon across the South Downs.

They are raising money for the British Heart Foundation. Sadly in the last few years we have lost 2 very close members of our families due to heart complications and Tasha also currently has an ongoing Heart condition.

Now I know money is tight for everyone at the moment and times only seem to be getting harder, however any donations of any size would really help them power through what is going to be a really hard challenge. They have already hit their Goal but it would be amazing for them to raise more!!

If you can’t make a donation you can still help, just simply sharing this post can make all the difference and it only takes a few seconds.

Personally I think they are both MAD!!! But they are 2 of my favourite people and are both amazing women, who I am sure will smash it!!

If you would like to donate please follow the link

⭐️⭐️ A big congratulations to Pat ⭐️⭐️

Recently we donated an Experience voucher to the “St Wilfrids Hospice Choir” to be used as a prize at one of their recent concerts raffle.

The Choir often put on performances to raise money for the Hospice and we were more than happy to offer an experience as a prize to help them raise money for the Hospice.

The team look forward to seeing you soon on your experience!! 🦅 🦉

The castle is definitely looking somewhat different at the moment due to structural work being carried out. Although the castle itself may not look as glorious as it did, the garden and grounds are looking fantastic thanks to all the hard work done by the estates grounds team. The estate is also running historical walking tours throughout August for anyone wanting to know more about about the estate’s history.
