About National Centre for Birds of Prey

Set amongst the veteran oaks of Duncombe Park, this is a place for the whole family to enjoy. You really need 2-3 hours to see everything, but many visitors spend the whole day with us.

During your visit you will see a large collection of native and exotic birds of prey - all of them spectacular in their own way. The three daily flying demonstrations at 11:30am, 2pm and 4.15pm are a great opportunity to get some action photos.

The Owl House Cafe offers wonderful home-cooked food, or you are welcome to bring a picnic.
