About Our Story

Discover the passion, expertise, and dedication behind our unforgettable hawk walking experiences

A Lifelong Passion for Birds of Prey

Our journey began over two decades ago with a simple fascination for the majesty and intelligence of birds of prey. What started as a childhood wonder has evolved into a professional dedication to conservation, education, and sharing the incredible bond between humans and these magnificent creatures.

Founded in 2003 by William Challinor, we've grown from a small family operation to one of the region's most respected falconry centers, while never losing sight of our core mission: to create meaningful connections between people and nature through the ancient art of falconry.
