It’s most likely that, centuries ago, the owners of Lewtrenchard Manor used hawks for hunting. It’s most appropriate, therefore, that guests can once again experience at close hand the ancient art of falconry. Our Head Falconer with his stunning team of eagles, hawks, falcons and owls, can provide a wide range of hawking activities to suit everyone, available both in the grounds of Lewtrenchard Manor and with the infamous backdrop of Dartmoor National Park.

Falconry displays never fail to entertain and enthrall guests and hawk walking is a magical way to see the countryside whilst handling and flying the birds; an amazing opportunity to gain first hand experience in the ancient art of falconry.

Our special falconry packages include a falconry experience, either half a day or a whole day, which you will end with a walk through the beautiful Lew-trenchard estate, flying the hawks. We also have a Hawk Walking break when you can make the most of this beautiful house and the superb food.

All hawking activities are available throughout the year. Informative, educational and very ‘hands on’, the hawks are great for the individual experience when you might be visiting Lewtrenchard Manor as well as for wedding receptions, celebrations, corporate and team building activities. Naturally, we are able to tailor the hawking packages to suit the occasion.
