Overall the website is informative and has enough detail prices, availability, areas and where activities held etc. I was looking for an unusual gift for my brothers 40th and found a Falconry afternoon experience not far from where he lives which seemed ideal He is very happy with it and hopes to use his voucher very soon. Many thanks for your help.
