A new flying display landed at the Hawk Conservancy Trust in 2025. Woodland Wonders makes you feel even more connected to nature as owls, and more, fly close. Plus, the woodland itself will spring to life around you with new developments and special effects that truly immerse you in this special space.
In between the three daily flying displays, there are plenty of activities to keep you and the children entertained all day long, including tractor rides (weekends and school holidays only), a nest-building activity, talks, and more! Get the children outside and immersed in nature as they explore our 22 acres of woodland and wildflower meadow on our two nature trails: Vulture Voyagers and a Tree Trail.
