We booked an excellent 'hawk walk' experience though Virgin for 3/4 hour. Just the two of us (in our 50s) and and the knowledgeable keeper Ross. We took a stroll to the falconry arena area then on to the public parkland/woods down the lane, with the harris hawk freely following by choice. We had the hawk land on our hand about 5 times each from the posts and trees. The experience includes entry to the falconry which is much bigger and better than we expected - loads of birds (including owls and vultures), and meerkats, skunks, racoons and ferrets - so spent the few hours there. All had great enclosures and were well looked after. Saw an impressive flight demonstration show in the arena too for about half an hour - not just the usual birds of prey - a little owl, kookaburra and cute running/jumping seriema too. The falconry centre is part of a big garden centre complex including a restaurant, cafe, farm shop, clothing, and a few outdoor farm animals (alpacas, rhea, goats) so you can make a whole day out. There's even a soft play, carousel and playground for young ones (though limited opening in Aug due to covid). Superb, and surpassed our expectations!!
2. Radley Lakes / Thrupp Lake Trail

The trail goes round most of Thrupp Lake which is home to various water fowl, although dogs off leads are causing a problem. The walk is easy but not suitable for wheelchairs as there are tree roots and rough patches. Usually very peaceful there. Unfortunately yobs burnt down the Lily shaped shelter and the bird hide which were installed in 2009-10. They have not been replaced. Earth Trust hold various events there and Friends of Radley Lakes hold a tea party on End May Bank Holiday.

Yesterday we played the green course at this beautiful golf club. The overall impression is that it is very well cared for with exceptionally well manicured course, clubhouse surroundings and entrance. We thoroughly enjoyed the challenging course and found all staff to be very helpful and good at their jobs. The food, eaten outside at very comfortable rattan tables and chairs, was well presented and good quality. We had the use of buggies which were of high spec and smooth to use. We had the pleasure of meeting the club captain who welcomed us and chatted about the course, club and membership. We will definitely visit again should the opportunity arise.
