It is very difficult to predict the weather in the United Kingdom - in the summer from May to late September is generally seen as the most pleasant time to visit. Rainfall is difficult to predict - but England does not receive as much as many are led to believe! In the winters, temperatures do fall, but there is nothing better than finding a remote pub with a roaring fire to sit beside after a long walk in the country.

We can arrange your activities and excursions according to your family's interests.
We've included a family falconry lesson, a fantastic way for you to bond together and a unique opportunity to get close to these magnificent birds.
