Falconry is an ancient art, reputed to be the oldest sport in the world. Originating in the Far East around 2000 B.C. as a means of catching food, falconry spread westward, reaching the shores of Europe long before the end of the first millennium.
At the Falconry School, their aim is to share with you the pleasure and excitement of falconry, a fascination that has enthralled people for 4,000 years. They specialize in teaching private falconry sessions using beautiful Harris hawks, but in addition to hawks, the school is home to a variety of other birds of prey, all of which have been specially bred in captivity and are flown free daily. This exclusive collection of birds of prey is not on view to the public and the school is open by appointment only, however, bookings can usually be accommodated at a moment's notice.
At the Ireland School of Falconry, you can fly a hawk around the spectacular grounds of Ashford Castle in a private Hawk Walk. This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that you will talk about again and again. Let me tell you, your friends will be jealous until they can experience this thrill themselves!
