About Cornwall Falconry Centre

Cornwall Falconry Centre gives visitors a chance to watch birds of prey up close, a short drive from Penzance. The centre is based at Tehidy, near Camborne, so it fits well into a day spent exploring the wider Penzance area. Because it is not right in the town centre, you will want to allow a little extra travel time. The site is easy to reach by car, and the address is Tehidy, Camborne TR14 0EZ.

What a visitor finds at the centre

A falconry centre of this kind focuses on birds of prey such as owls, hawks and falcons. Visitors usually see flying displays, where handlers work with the birds in the open air. These displays show how the birds move, hunt and respond to commands. Also, many centres give you time to walk around and view the birds at rest in their aviaries. Because the birds are the main focus, the experience often feels calm and quiet between displays. The day can vary with the weather, so a quick check before you set off is sensible. The centre is best suited to visitors who enjoy animals and want a slower pace than a busy beach or town attraction.

How it fits into a day nearby

Because the centre is a short drive from Penzance, it pairs well with other stops in the area. Nearby you will find Boat Trips from Penzance Harbour, Wherrytown Beach and Gwavas Lake. These are all within reach, so you could spend the morning at the falconry centre and then head towards the coast. Also, The Lizard Peninsula sits at the southern edge of access points for the wider Penzance radius. If your visit falls in the right season, the Golowan Festival runs in the area, though dates change each year so you should check before planning around it. Jude’s Art is another nearby name for those who want a creative stop. Each of these works well as part of a longer Cornish itinerary rather than a single stop.
