We found this attraction in the rough guide book and we are so pleased we went. It is really informative and you can get close up to the birds and with one of the birds you are allowed to have a go and let the hawk land on your glove. There were a number of flight demonstrations although the show... More

Our first visit to Lowther's Bird of Prey Centre and we really enjoyed it. We had expected something much bigger and grander but were very pleased indeed with our visit. Arriving at the centre via a singletrack lane and arriving in the courtyard, you think you must be in the wrong place. However you enter via the cosy tea-rooms and... More

Lovely demonstration flight by well-informed chap. There were Hawks, Owls, Falcons and were well looked after.. The demonstration of flights involved 4 different birds and took a couple of house with the option of guests having a padded glove and allowing a tame hawk to land on the glove

The number of birds displayed in the aviaries is really good. The breeding programme they have here is so good for conservation, but the best part is the display of the birds flying. The display included the chance to have a bird fly to your own hand which for the price charged was a pleasant suprise as this kind of... More

We received a very warm welcome on arrival. The tea room was lovely and cosy with a nice variety of cakes. The tea room staff were also very accommodating of my vegetarian requirements at lunch time. The birds of prey were fantastic and the demonstration was very enjoyable and informative. We had a great day and would recommend to everyone... More

This became an issue for... More

we went with a £19 travel zoo voucher for two people and a small child for free, a quirky little cafe but we first looked round the birds in the large walled gardens situated in cages around the outside. It was a wet afternoon so not perfect but nice to see the different birds. We went back to the cafe... More
