Yorkshire Dales Falconry & Conservation Centre
 

Since the centre's creation in 1991, it has provided the public a glimpse into the sport of falconry as well as an insight to various birds of prey. However, the centre's primary goal is to assist the re-population of birds of prey around the world. The centre is part of a world wide breeding and conservation programme that hopes that one day, all of the species can be safe in their natural habitats around the world.

The centre's layout is designed so that the main complex only takes up a minimal of land, allowing the centre's falconers room to exercise and train the birds.

The facilities for the birds of prey at the centre include:

• Main Aviary

  • Hospital and treatment

  • Quarantine Zone

• Open Resting Ground

• Cave dwellings, for shelter and external static displays

• Breeding hut, located at distance from all other structures

The facilities for visitors include:

• Main Arena, for demonstrations and courses

• Reception and Admissions

• Mrs Feather's Tearoom

• Henry's Hedgehog Playground

• Lecture Room for Educational Tours

• Gift Shop
