           A REAL HANDS ON EXPERIENCE WHERE
           YOU FLY AND HANDLE THE BIRDS

A warm and friendly welcome awaits you at Mere Down Falconry set alongside a beautiful valley at Manor Farm, Mere on the Wiltshire/Dorset border just 5 minutes off the A303.The valley is around 400 acres of unspoilt natural down land with an array of wildlife for
you to see.

The Falconry opened full time in April 2008 and has grown over the past couple of years and now has around 20 Birds of Prey, 9 species of Owl, Hawks and Falcons. Our reputation is growing as well and we have become one of the best flying experiences in the area.

The Falconry is owned and run by Allan & Alison Gates and it is our aim to make your time with us as relaxing as possible with a laid back approach and run at your pace giving you the time to
get up close and personnel with these wonderful birds.

The full day flying experience has a maximum of two people with guests. The half day experience has a maximum of four people and guests. This is done to make sure each person gets plenty of handling and flying of the birds.

We also now offer a 2 hour family handling session so that all the family can have a
great time with us.

children's birthday parties are a great hit with plenty of participation from the children.
