I had this experience day bought for my birthday as a present, and I have got to say this is the best present I have ever had. Had an absolutely amazing day. Got to hold different types of birds and also got a lot of useful information about the different types of bird of preys. Thank you so much I will definitely be returning. :)
3. Gauntlet Birds of Prey

Gauntlet, Eagle & Vulture park is the largest bird of prey park in the Northwest of England. With over 120 birds of prey, ranging from the smallest owls to the worlds largest eagle and Vultures it really is a haven for animal lovers. Gauntlet has two daily shows at 12.30 and 3 during the months March-Oct and during the winter months weekends only. As well as our two daily displays we have vulture feeding and meet & greet. We have a large children's play area with plenty of room for picnics. We are on the same site as Fryers garden centre and you can leave at anytime and come back for our displays. For those wishing to get closer we have bird of prey experiences which are run 7 days a week throughout the year. This gives people the opportunity to handle and fly the birds.

We visited the park with my elderly parents and two young grand children aged 6 and 11. We all had a wonderful experience with Meet and Greet sessions , the Vulture experience and the wonderful flying experience at the end of the day when over 30 birds gave an awe inspiring display set to music. What a great day out and very reasonable. We had a snack type lunch and coffees from the little cafe area but my daughter and partner along with their children went to the Garden Centre next door as they are gluten free. The birds are well looked after, well loved , staff are knowlegeable and enthuiastic. I cannot fault it at all.

I bought an Owl Experience for my wife and I as a joint Christmas present, but due to Covid-19 it wasn’t until now (August) that we could actually get around to doing it. The wait was definitely well worth it..... From the moment we checked in with the helpful Vinnie and the wonderful afternoon spent with the owl handler Peter, it’s hard to describe what a great day we had. Peter was a great guide. His enthusiasm, care and knowledge for his birds was evident to see, add in his humorous and friendly manner it made for a perfect afternoon. My son tagged along as a spectator, but the ‘non-fliers’ were just as involved as the lucky ones doing the handling, so I’d definitely going along as a spectator. We took so many photos it was hard to choose a favourite, and the owls were so photogenic, they made great subjects. I’d definite recommend it and the Covid-19 safety measures were implemented well and didn’t effect our wonderful day. Can’t thank you enough, we’ve so many great memories of the day.

Megan provided a very warm welcome with a clear, concise and informative introduction to the reserve and the species we were likely to see giving clear tips on where to look for the harder to see specimens. Probably the best introduction I have ever had to any nature reserve. Well done, much appreciated. The reserve is well maintained with excellent paths and a good selection of hides and screens. Highly recommended.

Lovely place to take you back in time . Started walk from Crouchley lane . Wandered down path to the Dam ,with lovely views . Then up to main A56 near St Mary's church .across the road to go down a steep steps to the Dingle to the village pond and weir . Checked all the shops and cafes and up to the Cross . Then Along by the Canal for a short walk and back to the bridge to go down a lane to look at the TPT Trans Pennine Trail going East to West . Nice and flat for walks and cycles . Then back to the village and sit by the Pond to take in the lovely surroundings . Then back up the Dingle retraceing our steps to cross main road again to the Dam . And followed the path to the Bongs . As far as the Wishing bridge circular route around the Dam, followed trail back to the start . Nice day out.

Don’t really get out fishing as much as I’d like these days but had the pleasure of 2 visits in a week to Lloyds Meadow. Lovely well kept location which still keeps a very natural feel and look about the place. I fished the Badger lake from late morning to early evening on both occasions and had 2 great days fishing with a decent haul of Bream, Roach and lots of Carp. The highlight being a double figure Mirror Carp. I’ve previously fished the Heron lake which along with kingfisher is unfortunately closed at the moment. I had a good chat with Danny the owner about the 2 lakes being closed and although it’s unfortunate as I would prefer to fish the Heron lake, I totally agreed with his reasons for doing so. There is now a booking system to fish there, and yes the price has gone up a couple of £, but still worth every penny. Well done to all concerned for a great fishing venue.
