British Wildlife Centre

The Centre is home to the UK's finest collection of native wildlife with over forty different species on display, from tiny harvest mice to magnificent red deer and everything in between! All species are housed in large enclosures, landscaped to reflect natural habitats. You’ll have the opportunity to see rarely seen species such as otters, Scottish wildcats and pine martens, as well as foxes, badgers and beautiful British owls. The Centre boasts the UK’s first Walk-through Red Squirrel Enclosure which allows visitors to walk amongst a colony of red squirrels in their own Copse. The popular Keeper Talks take place every half an hour, giving you the chance to see animals up close and learn more about the challenges they face in the wild. The Centre provides fabulous opportunities for wildlife photography. Open: every weekend and public holiday of the year and daily during state school holidays (excluding 24/25/26 Dec) – see website for dates.
