Photography Hides
Whilst photographic hide space may be available to book on the day, places are limited and it is advisable to pre-book your hide beforehand to avoid disappointment.
Please note that we do not allow children or dogs in the photographic hides. The photographic hide prices are all inclusive of normal entry fees.
The Gateway Hide
Located around 3.5m closer to the Kites than the two Tower Hides, the Gateway Hide is the ultimate all-around photography spot. It’s ideal for capturing birds in flight
as well as stunning portraits when they’re on the ground. This hide is fully enclosed and features a spacious window area for optimal viewing and photography. Bench seating is provided to the rear of the Hide.
Capacity – 3 photographers
Recommended lens – 200-600mm
Ticket price £28/person (£30/person 2025)
The Tower Hide
While not as tall as the Big Tower Hide, the Tower Hide still rises higher than the other hides, providing an exceptional opportunity to observe Kites at eye level.
The open front allows for excellent photography of birds flying directly above you. The hide is around 5m wide. Bench seating is provided to the rear of the Hide.
Capacity – 4 photographers
Recommended lens – 300-600mm
Ticket Price £35/person (£40 2025)
The Big Tower Hide
Standing at over 10m wide, our tallest hide offers the perfect vantage point to get eye-level with flying kites. This is an incredible opportunity to observe and photograph these magnificent birds up close. The hide features a partially covered design, with an open front that provides the chance for unique overhead shots.
A trip to the Big Tower Hide is a must for every photographers wish list. Bench seating is provided to the rear of the hide.
Capacity – 6 photographers with or without tripods
Recommended lens – 300-600mm
Ticket price £40/person (£45/person 2025)
Low Level Hide
The Low Level Hide is slightly sunken into the ground, providing the perfect angle to photograph these amazing birds at eye level. While you can still capture images of birds in flight, this hide is ideally positioned for stunning low-level shots.
Wind direction is optimum when it’s from the south or a variation of that. Some stunning results can be achieved from this hide but because the Kites are so close it can be more challenging to photograph them from here than from the other specialist hides. Therefore, this hide is only recommended for experienced photographers. Seating is provided.
Capacity – 2 photographers
Recommended lens – 200-600mm
Ticket Price £35/person (£38 /person 2025).
