Moreton-in-Marsh is a town civil parish in northeastern Gloucestershire, England. The town is located at the crossroads of the Fosse Way Roman road (now the A429) and the A44.

Who knew that we would spend a full afternoon in this bird sanctuary? Our expectations were to spend an hour viewing the exotic birds or prey and then spread out the picnic for a mid afternoon feast. In reality we watched the first display in the gusting wind and pouring rain, quickly ate lunch and went back for the next two displays. The bird handlers were a font of knowledge and so enthusiastic it was easy to see that they cared for the birds; most of which were endangered in the wild. From burrowing owls feeding from my gloved hand to African Vultures hoping around our feet and Peregrine Falcons dive bombing from far off woodland, this was a superb and informative way to spend £10; unbelievable value for money. We were in the Costwolds for one week, this was our first day, and it was hard to surpass. We even had wild Buzzards and Kites joining the displays. I well deserved excellent from me.

I took a few lessons with Durhams, all in preparation to take my girlfriend for a hack and propose to her. Pat helped me organise the whole thing, and she was so accommodating with what I wanted to do, helping me each step of the way. Sally and Sue took me for my lessons, and they were very patient and reassuring, getting me ready for the big day! Lilly and Grace then took my partner and I for our actual hack, and they were very calming and professional, for what was a very nervous ride for me! When it came to popping the question, they were amazingly helpful, finding the perfect spot for us, and (just) managing to keep it a secret the whole time! Dibles and Bob were also the best horses we could've asked for :) Durhams Farm really made our day, and we'll treasure the memories that we made here forever, and will most certainly be back for another ride to reminisce!
