Dromoland School of Falconry

The Dromoland School of Falconry in Ireland is based at the world famous Dromoland Castle in County Clare. Professionals from the School are available to provide guests with an up close and personal “raptor” experience. 

My participation in a 7-day, Tourism Ireland-sponsored destination training program across the northern part of the island of Ireland this October provided me with one of the raptor encounters.  The video immediately below provides a flavor of the experience.  A very friendly hawk put up with me for about 15-seconds just in front of  the Castle.



A bit later, we visited the raptor facility, also on the Castle grounds.  Here, I shared in opportunities to get close to other birds – in this case, an owl.
