Welcome to Ireland's School of Falconry

Founded in 1999 the oldest Falconry School in Ireland specialises in one-hour Private Hawk Walks where you will fly our wonderful Harris hawks around the spectacular grounds of Ashford Castle. Within minutes of arriving you will have a hawk on your glove and will be setting off on an adventure to fly your hawk free around the gardens and through the woodlands of Ashford Castle, an unrivalled location. Our Hawk Walks are a completely immersive, interactive and hands-on adventure. You will never forget the moment when your hawk first swoops down from a tree and lands back on your gloved fist. Flying a hawk is a remarkable experience that is truly a connection with nature.

The Falconry School is home to the largest and most diverse collection of Harris hawks in the world.

Our time enjoying the Falconry walk with yourselves was the highlight of our action and site filled holiday. Our walk was filled with beautiful sights of both the surroundings and of the birds themselves in flight. The instructions we got were very clear and easy to understand and led to us having a wonderful experience. My Fiancée and I look back so fondly at our time with the hawks; Earrach and Geimhread. We want to thank you all so much for such a wonderful and memorable experience!

We have been back home for about 3 weeks now from a 7 week tour through 8 countries. A standout highlight for Wendy and me was the Falconry at Ashford Castle - as an add on option to out Insight tour, to opt for this activity was one of the best decisions we could have made - absolutely fantastic. Your guide was superb in instructions, communication and extreme friendliness. The experience was one of the highlights of our lives. keep up the fantastic work.
