The National School of Falconry is based in Cumbria, in the English Lake District and is run by Gary Worley and Gill Cree who have over 34 years practical experience of the art of falconry. Falconry is 'the hunting of wild quarry in its natural habitat with trained birds of prey' and The National School of Falconry is dedicated to the preservation, conservation, and protection of falconry, birds of prey and the environment in which the sport is practiced, including the quarry species. It is the aim of the school to achieve this by creating conscientious, capable and informed falconers to be custodians of this most ancient art for future generations.

Various courses and hunting days are offered by the school, from basic bird of prey association days to advanced falconry courses and from a days rabbit hawking to hunting holidays at Grouse with falcons. Courses and hunting days can be tailored to suit the individuals needs with courses available throughout the year and hunting days available within the relevant seasons.

Residential courses are held at the picturesque farmhouse 1 mile from the small village of Cark in Cartmel.
