Watlington Safari Park
Plans are being drawn up by Edward Pope for a Safari Park covering 170 acres on the edge of the village. The site boundary will be north of Thieves Bridge Road, east of Mill Road, Plough Lane and Lynn Road and then west of the C51 Road to Tottenhill.
Mr Pope has a vision ‘to create an inspirational centre for education, a visitor experience that people can enjoy and a site for extraordinary wildlife encounters.’ He is passionate about the conservation of endangered animals and wild birds and for several years provided a refugee programme for deer and antelope.There will be a main visitor centre (The Stingray), which will have extensive views over the site, an education room, cafe and function facilities. For a closer experience with the wildlife, visitors will be able to board trailersgiving tours around the park. This is still in the planning stage but would be a huge asset to west Norfolk and Watlington.
This page will have the latest what's on in events. If you would be so kind to help us keep it up to date. Diary dates see below.
