Falconry originated in the medieval times but it's not confined to the past. This week we're at a tourist attraction in Pembrokeshire where visitors get the chance to get up close to birds of prey.

Since 2004 Pembrokeshire Falconry has been offering visitors the opportunity not just to stand in a field and watch but to experience for themselves the thrill of having a bird of prey or an owl fly to your glove. Rachael Garside meets Alex and Emma Hill at Picton Castle where they've just opened up a Secret Owl Garden and then it's on to the National Botanic Gardens of Wales
