Cotswold Wildlife Park
Cotswold Wildlife Park is set in 160 acres of parkland and gardens around a listed Victorian Manor House and has been open to the public since 1970. The Park is home to a fascinating and varied collection of mammals, birds, reptiles and invertebrates from all over the world and aspires to show animals to people - so that they can come to understand and respect all forms of wildlife; to understand what is special about each species, and how the various species have evolved over very long periods of time, adjusting to survive in habitats from many parts of the earth.
The park includes a children's farmyard where "kids" are able to stroke some of the animals, bird avairies, small mammel enclosures, reptile house, bats belfry and of course the big animal enclosures for, rhinos, lions and camels. The admission charge is reasonable and a full day out can be expected. Facilities include refreshment kiosks, restaurant, toilets and shop. The pathways are hard surfaced and suitable for visitor's with disabilities.
