Even before recorded history, our ancestors flew birds of prey. From the Steppes of Asia, to medieval Europe, from five thousand years ago to the present day, Falconry has become a way of life for Falconers around the world. Whether or not you have experienced Falconry before, you will get a chance to handle these magnificent creatures, letting them fly from your gloved hand and returning to feed. It is a profound experience to interact so closely with a hunting animal.
At Hawkeye School of Falconry, they are totally dedicated to this Ancient Sport of Kings. This, the noblest of all field sports, gives you the unique opportunity to personally fly, handle, feed and interact with some of their trained Hawks and Owls. They adhere to a very high standard of Falconry and only use practising Falconers for all their services. At Hawkeye School of Falconry, they provide a range of Falconry experiences at our purpose-built school on the grounds of the beautiful Lyrath Estate in Kilkenny. In addition to their school, they also provide a mobile unit which services other hotels in the South-East area.
