White-tailed eagle on a falconer's glove, farmland behind

Since 1996

Our story

An inclusive, family-run wildlife foundation in the Kent Downs.

Eagle Heights began as one small idea, on a Kent dairy farm, in 1996. Three decades on we're one of the UK's original bird-of-prey centres — home to over 30 species and hundreds of rescued animals.

Every animal here has a story. Some we rehomed from private owners who couldn't cope. Others came to us injured, or from breeders who went out of business. All get lifelong care, in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty at the top of the Darent Valley.

What we're about

Three things guide everything we do — from the birds we fly to the rescues we take on.

🦅

Bird of prey expertise

One of the UK's original bird-of-prey centres. Our falconers have decades of experience with eagles, owls, hawks, vultures and more.

🏡

Rescue and rehome

From huskies to servals, we take in animals others can't or won't care for. They stay with us for life.

🌿

Conservation first

Silver-award Green Tourism members. We prioritise biodiversity across our site over manicured landscapes.

Rescued husky at Eagle Heights

Every animal has a story

Shrek and Donkey came to us when their private owner could no longer cope. Thirty huskies arrived in a single week when a breeder collapsed and euthanasia was on the table.

Injured birds of prey get patched up in our facilities. Alpacas, meerkats, exotic reptiles — animals from all over Kent and beyond have found permanent homes here.

"We couldn't leave them. So we found room."
