Allow yourself to be reminded of what magnificence really feels like with an extended escape at The Milestone.
Our one-hour private hawk walks give you the incredible opportunity to fly your very own Harris Hawks under the guidance of your instructor. After you have been introduced to your hawks you’ll set off into the magnificent woodlands to fly your hawks, as they follow you from tree to tree through the woods before swooping down to land on your gloved fist. Your instructor will explain about the hawks’ exceptional eyesight, their speed and agility and how they were trained by the Falconry School themselves.
The minimum age to participate in a hawk walk is 7 years old. Children younger than 7 are welcome to spectate during a Hawk Walk however they would not be able to participate. Junior guests must be a minimum age of 13 years of age to experience an extended hawk walk. We would ask families to refrain from using strollers during their hawk walk as the birds are intimated by their presence. Hawk walks cater for all ages and families taking into account the aforementioned requirements.
