We sore the signs for the centre on our way to Scotland so thought it would be good to give it a whirl. We started by wandering around the good selections of aviaries containing numerous birds of prey including gyrfalcons, bald eagles and lots of different owls.. The grounds are lovely and in nice weather it is quite relaxing and... More

we drove all the way out to the sticks to see the 2 hour bird of prey show and it was not even open. Just a sign on the gate saying closed due to flooding. We checked the internet and had no warning. Just rubbish. There were 4 cars besides us that were miffed standing outside the closed gates too.... More

JT and I had a brilliant day at the Lakeland Bird of Prey Centre, we were there from 11am till 16:30, had lovely fresh brewed coffee and home made scones... yum yum. The walled garden is a very relaxed and calm place to be with lots of BOP's to see, the flying demonstration was awesome... Ok, as someone new to... More

Having recently visited, I can strongly recommend saving your money for somewhere else. The bird enclosures look poor, and the actual show is slow and unimpressive. I have seen many bird of prey flying shows and although this was two hours long it was in no way up there with the hour or less shows you can see elsewhere. The... More

Despite the weather the afternoon show went ahead and was varied and informative. It was also surprisingly fresh given that the falconer works 7 days a week and, as far as I could tell,... More
