EAST COAST SCHOOL OF FALCONRY
Falconry & Bird of Prey Centre
Woodenbridge, Arklow, County Wicklow, Ireland
Falconry Ireland is pleased to offer our visitors the
opportunity to engage hands-on in this most ancient of
field sports. We invite you to watch the fascinating
sport of falconry come alive in the beautiful
surroundings of Woodenbridge, deep in the Garden of
Ireland.
Our falconry is situated in rolling countryside on the
banks of the historic Goldmines river, less than 2 hours
from Dublin city centre. It is home to a variety of
birds of prey used for falconry.
Woodenbridge and its environs boast a long tradition in
the pursuit of country sports and pastimes, so it is
only fitting that falconry, one of the oldest of field
sports, now flourishes in this most beautiful
countryside.
Apart from the active practice of falconry, we offer an
important educational and photographic facility where
our visitors can experience these magnificent birds up
close and intimate, and have the opportunity to handle a
trained hawk and enjoy the thrill of seeing it flying
free and returning to your gloved fist.
