National Centre for Birds of Prey
Eagles, owls, vultures and falcons flown daily in the grounds of Duncombe Park.
The centre at Duncombe Park houses a large collection of birds of prey, 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.
