The North Somerset Bird of Prey Centre in Congresbury is a small sanctuary caring for over 60 resident birds of prey, alongside reptiles, ferrets, meerkats, foxes, a binturong, skunks and an armadillo. It isn't open every day, as much of its time goes into educational sessions and a breeding and rescue programme, but visitors can join Open Days with no booking required, enjoying demonstrations, talks and the chance to hold a bird of prey. Year-round Experience Days offer a more personal, hands-on visit by pre-booking. It suits families, schools and wildlife lovers wanting close encounters. Yatton station is 1.3 miles away, Clevedon Beach 5 miles away, and there are 28 bookable places to stay within 5 miles on BritStays, making it an easy addition to a longer stay.
