All the birds are housed in large open fronted aviaries, sheltered in a woodland setting. You can experience first hand the breathtaking flight of a falcon.

Hawks, owls, and other varieties are flown here at the sanctuary. You can also gain hands on experience and knowledge about these fasinating birds.

What visitors are saying about Turbary Woods, these are some of the positive comments from visitors to Turbary Woods Owl and Bird of Prey Sanctuary.

I would just like to say thankyou for a wonderful day today.  The man who showed us around was so knowledgeable and my son who loves birds had a fantastic day.  His grandma, myself, my son and daughters had a magical day.  Your staff are helpful, full of information and its so appparant how much they love and care for the birds. Its a tonic to see them fly and we all enjoyed it despite the rain.  Please thank the lovely man who we did not catch his name,  who chatted with my son about my sons favourite subject in the world, birds, and shared so many facts.

My son is still talking about the day, and wants to come back for his birthday.  Your prices are fare and affordable and excellent value for money, You beat every attraction we have ever been too!  Thank you for  a truly memorable day, and one that has further inspired my 8 year old son love of birds of prey!

PS we will be back!

Educational Talks and Displays

Turbary Woods raises its own funds to carry out the vital rescue and rehabilitation work.  One of our main fund raising activities is the Educational talks we provide to schools, Clubs, Scout & Brownie Groups etc.

We also visit local Summer fetes, Shows and private functions. During the last 5 years we have become very popular at all the events we have taken part in and we find many times we are booked for the following year.

We take great pride in conservational education, especially the young children, many who sadly now a days do not no the difference between a barn owl and a Gull, we sometimes fly a selection of birds inside and out.

Turbary Woods would like to send a big thank you to all the Wildlife Artists featured on this website who kindly donated prints and photographs to help faise funds for the sanctuary.

We are going to be Auctioning them to raise some much needed funds as the sanctuary is sruggling financially at this time of year. All images are used courtesy of the artists.
