Peregrines at Lincoln Cathedral

Interested in skydiving? Watch the masters!

Diving to catch prey at up to 200 miles per hour, we’re masters of flight.

We like to show off our agility for anyone around, sometimes flying upside down to catch food dropped by a mate, or just wheeling around the Cathedral towers above you.

Sheer cliffs might be our natural home, but the tall towers of Lincoln Cathedral make a perfect place to nest.

Live pictures of the trials of peregrine parenthood amid the grand stonework will be beamed from our nestcam to screens at the viewpoint.

And well-placed telescopes at the free viewpoint outside will help you to spot us on the wing – if you think you’re quick enough, that is!

When can you see us?

Friendly staff and volunteers will be on the East Green every Saturday and Sunday (and Bank Holiday Mondays), 11.30am – 4.30pm.

What’s at the site?

The Cathedral has a Refectory, open daily 9.30am – 4pm.
