WELCOME!
The sight of a falcon diving down towards earth at over 100mph is one of life’s truly exhilarating experiences. Having a hawk stand on your fist, happily tearing at its food, is a rare privilege. But to actually fly a bird of prey encompasses both of these … and so much more.
One of Britain’s few private falconry centres, Dartmoor Hawking School of Falconry sits at the heart of Dartmoor National Park, internationally recognized as having some of the most dramatic and stunning scenery in the country. With 35 acres of its own land, the school has plenty of space to allow clients to really see these magnificent birds flying at their best. But the wings of a raptor have few limitations and we also have access to about 15,000 acres of hunting/flying ground away from the site.
Dartmoor Hawking is not open to the general public which means that we can devote all our time to our clients. In turn, that means that each individual has one of the most interactive and personal experiences with birds of prey available in the country. As a family-run centre, we ensure that your time with us is as enjoyable and exciting as possible.
Our hands-on approach is inherent in all that we offer. On our introduction and experience days, the emphasis is very much on clients handling and flying birds. For those wishing to experience real falconry, our hunting days provide a fantastic opportunity to work with birds in the field and see what the hawks can really do!
But perhaps, you simply want a different day out. Our combined falconry and clay pigeon, or fly fishing, days give a unique introduction to country sports. A double treat for the individual or the corporate group.
Our aim is to share the wonders of birds of prey and falconry with all our clients. At Dartmoor Hawking School of Falconry, we know that your time spent with our hawks, falcons and owls will be a truly unforgettable experience.
For anyone wishing to stay in the area we can put you in contact with accomadation from Farmhouse B&B to the wonderful luxuary of Bovey Castle (where we can get you a discount for anyone staying during the week)
Please note: we have full public liability insurance for all our events and all our staff CRB checked

Testimonial
This has to be the most thrilling experience I have had since riding with the Blue Angel flight team. Martin and his entire family are so conscious of the place falconry plays in England's heritage and dedicated to improving the sport through the actions of falconers. An absolute must do experience.
