The National Park Experience is all about you getting up-close and hands-on, feeding and flying some of the worlds most iconic birds of prey that are native to the park. What will I do on my experience day? On arrival you will be offered complimentary tea/coffee. You will explore the link between the landscape and diverse habitat found only in Northumberland’s National Park. You will learn about the art of Falconry and why it is listed as a world living human heritage.
After a short break to sample the real taste of Northumberland-the Ham & Peas Pudding Stottie a stodgy bread that originated in the northeast made from scraps of leftover dough, cheap and easy to make in a coal-fired oven, a bread that bounces when dropped (stot) of the ground! We will end your experience flying the world famous Peregrine Falcon,thrilling you with its speed and grace as it stoops inches above your head.
National Park Experiences is a curated collection that brings the stories of our National Parks to life. Each experience offers an authentic insight into the landscape and special qualities of a National Park.
