What to expect
Your morning begins with pickup from your hotel. The walking portion covers Bath's key architectural landmarks with a guide who knows the city's quirks and backstory firsthand. You'll navigate Georgian crescents and Roman ruins at a relaxed pace, stopping where curiosity strikes. After a lunch break (arrange separately), you'll travel by car to a small falconry station in a nearby village. There, trained staff introduce you to the birds and teach you how to handle and fly a hawk, working with the bird across fields and open ground. The experience is weather-dependent and requires reasonable mobility.
Good to know
