Visit Kent's raptors in a beautiful natural environment on a nature walk! This selection of falconry excursions offers something for people of all ages to enjoy and is based in a garden centre and woodland estate not far from Sevenoaks in Kent. Additionally, there is a tonne to see and do all around this falconry centre for a full day of outdoor activities in the Kentish countryside. The Willows Bird of Prey Center has an excellent setup. The six-acre Coolings Green & Pleasant nature trail runs directly through it. Previously used as a nursery for growing specimen trees, the area is now a wonderful mixture of forests, grasslands, and hedgerows in the traditional Kentish Garden of England style, making it the ideal home for these raptors.
