Durham
We are situated 1.5 miles south of Durham City centre at Houghall Farm, Houghall
Campus, East Durham College, just off the A177. Our flying grounds are primarily
within Houghall woods, a local attraction during the Spring for its blooms of
wild bluebells. Houghall farm is a mixed livestock and arable farm, which dates
back to the 12th century, with a history of monks growing and harvesting crops
and sheep for use in the Cathedral, Cloisters and Castle. Houghall farm and its
surrounding woods and ponds are home to a wealth of British wildlife, which our
customers often have the delight of encountering on their falconry experiences.
What we offer We offer one-to-one and group falconry experiences with birds of
prey. We fly hawks, falcons, owls and eagles over 450 acres of farm and
woodland. We offer our customers the opportunities to get up-close and personal
with a range of birds of prey through static and flying demonstrations, hawk
walks, training and craft skills, and Raptor Awards courses. We also offer art
and photography sessions and educational talks. We are an inclusive business and
can offer falconry experiences regardless of customer capabilities. Durham
Falconry Ltd can tailor a falconry experience to include any of the above and we
can travel with our birds to events across the Northeast of England, please
contact us for more information and to book.
