International Centre for Birds of Prey
Eagles, owls, vultures and falcons flown daily in the grounds of Duncombe Park.
The centre at Duncombe Park houses one of the largest collections of birds of prey in the country, with three flying displays a day in which eagles, kites, hawks and owls swoop over the crowd. There are hawk walks and experience days for those who want a bird on the glove. Good for children and only a short walk from Helmsley.
