Guests meeting Breeze the Buzzard Many of the best visitor attractions and activities in the Yorkshire Dales were started by people who are really passionate about their hobby or interest and simply want to share it with visitors.
Their love of what they do shines out in every way, from how they greet their guests, to their enthusiastic emails and five star reviews.
This is certainly the case for Kieren and David at Settle Falconry. They share images of their birds just as proudly as others pass around baby photos. If you have even the smallest interest in birds or maybe remember watching Kes all those years ago, a Bird of Prey experience at Settle Falconry will delight you.

Bella the Lanner Falcon David and Kieren aren't just passionate about falconry and birds of prey. They have 20 years' practical experience, which they love to pass on.
David became interested in birds when he was 5 and got his first bird at the age of 14 on his grandfather's farm.
Kieren volunteered every weekend at another falconry centre until he became a full-time display falconer at 16. After working as an apprentice zoo keeper, David crossed the border from Lancashire and worked with Kieren until they decided to start the Settle Falconry in 2015.
David and Kieren are also experienced in breeding and rearing falcons so have plenty of information to pass on to visitors. You need to book in advance so take a look at their website for more details.
