Found this by accident, driving home. What a lovely find. Run by enthusiastic and knowledgeable people, the birds are clearly very well looked after. We reached there in time to see a fantastic flying display and had about two hours in total at the centre, which was no where near long enough. Definitely bring a camera. More

As a family we have been to the centre about 5 times in the last 2 years, the most recent trip on the 27th of April meant a 5 hour round trip as we now live in Devon. Firstly what you must appreciate is that the ICBP isn't just a tourist attraction, pay your entrance fee, trawl around for half... More

This was a disappointment. There is no atmosphere to the place and I felt that most of the birds were in a place to unlike their natural habitat. The only thing that saved this was the demonstration of the Burrowing Owl who is just the cutest and funniest Bird of Prey, I have ever seen! More

Football = Wembley Tennis = Wimbledon Falconry = ICBP It is that simple. I went for the 'Falcon Day' and enjoyed superb tuition, a fascinating behind the scenes glimpse of the ICBP, a lovely lunch and chats with the staff about their birds. The whole centre is beautiful and you could easily spend the day just wondering around, watching the... More

The International Centre for Birds of Prey is located in a tucked-away rural location outside Newent, and is a 10 minute drive from Junction 3 of the M50. Parking is free, and the site offers a huge range of birds of prey from around the world, from the islands of the South Atlantic to Australia, from the Kamchatka Peninsula, Russia... More

A wonderful place run by enthusiastic and intelligent staff. The birds are up close and personal, with representatives of several different species from around the world. The grounds are expansive but easily accessible and full of birds and well kept gardens. Even if you think you know your birds of prey, this center will have something to surprise you! Owls,... More

This is the best Bird of Prey centre I have visited. As a Bird of Prey enthusiast, I am always driving up and down the country to vist centres and this has to be my favorite. And it is the Birds that are always in tip-top condition and ofcourse, the excellent Staff that make it. Personally, I love dogs too... More

This is a hidden gem in the fantastic country side of Gloucestershire which every time I visit, it gets better and better. The staff are brilliant in knowledge and showmanship and the owner, Jemima is a brilliant falconer with a great sense of humour and she is obviously dedicated to the centre. Throughout the day you get to see amazing... More
