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!!

Amazing sloth encounter, Talita loved being stroked and fed vegetables, keeper was very knowledgeable and was amazing to see pygmy hippos too as share same house. Amazing where else can you get up close with a beautiful sloth, who adores the fuss and attention you give her. Simply magical, made a 60th birthday present unforgettable and even got a beautiful certificate to remind us of the special day. Highly recommended for all sloth lovers, not to be missed.

Fantastic cycle hire in The Cotswolds. They were very easy to speak to, reservation process was very simple and they delivered the bikes and picked them up exactly when they said they would. Also the chap who delivered the bikes was very friendly and gave us some tips on cycling around the area (As we've never visited The Cotswolds before). 100% would use them again!
