Named after their American bald Eagle, Liberty’s Raptor and Reptile Centre is located near Ringwood, in Hampshire, UK. As it’s located on the edge of the New Forest National Park, it makes a great place to visit while you are also visiting the Park.

It has a large collection of birds of prey like eagles, owls and vultures as well as reptiles – snakes, tortoises and lizards. There are displays of the raptors flying and you can even have the experience of flying these beautiful birds yourself with the centre’s Hunting Day Flying Experiences as long as you are over 16 years of age.
