Ireland's School of Falconry

About

Established in 1999 we are the oldest Falconry School in Ireland and offer exceptional Private Hawk Walk experiences where you fly our wonderful hawks in the spectacular grounds of Ashford Castle. No-one forgets the moment when their hawks first swoop down from a tree to land back on their gloved fists. Flying a hawk is a magical experience of a lifetime! We are unusual in that we train the hawks ourselves and fly them every day. We never sell them, they are much loved family members and we never part with them. This means we have many stories to tell about them as you enjoy flying them. On arrival you are greeted by your Falconry Instructor and shown around but, within minutes, you will be setting off to fly your hawks against the spectacular backdrop of Ashford Castle. We are very lucky to fly the hawks in such a stunning location, the open walkways give spectacular long flights then we move into the magical woodlands to show you the hawks agility as they zip through the trees.
