There is a tea room on site where you may have your lunch and purchase teas, coffees and food. The tea room is only open at certain times of the year so we recommend bringing your own food just in case.
Our experiences are very laid back and friendly to make you feel as comfortable as possible around our birds. we encourage you to ask any questions and take lots of pictures and videos of our stunning birds while on the experience.
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 among the top highlights for all who join us. Witness our majestic hawks soaring through ancient woodlands, lush meadows, and occasionally, the exquisite gardens of Herstmonceux Castle. Along the way, you'll encounter breathtaking scenery, including ancient trees, vibrant wildflowers, enchanting wildlife, and our serene lake, all while having one of our magnificent hawks gracefully return to your glove!
We don't simply lead you around a small area with birds flying from a perch to your hand; instead, we take you on an unforgettable journey through the splendid ancient woodlands, grass meadows, and, at times, the lovely gardens of Herstmonceux Castle, allowing you to witness the birds in their natural habitat.
Every experience includes a day entry pass to the Herstmonceux Castle Estate, so after your hawk walk, feel free to explore the beautiful grounds (subject to estate open season and hours).
These experiences are run all year round by appointment only. Not in a busy centre, but in the stunning grounds of Herstmonceux Castle. You will not be in a large group. Group sizes average 4-6 but are no larger then 10, this is not very common as we like groups to be kept small.
You can bring along 1 spectator per participant. If the recipient is under the age of 16, an adult must accompany them as either a participant or spectator.
