Address: Raptor Foundation, The Heath, St Ives Road, Woodhurst, Cambridgeshire, PE28 3BT

If you like Birds of Prey this is an amazing place to visit. It's a fairly small attraction, but they have some wonderful birds here. Most of the birds at the Raptor foundation are rescued or birds in a state of rehabilitation. The birds look well cared for and the flying displays they put on for the visitors shows they do get daily exercise. With 3 flying displays a day, at 12 noon, 2pm and 4pm, they alternate the birds to give them a fair bit of exercise, and treats (although chicken legs and feet don't look that appetising to me).

The staff are very informative and they also have a restaurant on site as well as a small play area. If you are visiting from outside of the area and need accommodation they do have rooms available and also a small campsite.

When we went to visit we thoroughly enjoyed our day and would recommend a visit to anyone with an interest in birds of prey.
