Breaking News!
The Watlington MUGA (Multi Use Games Area) Project . The main construction is finished. Looks good. Well done to the contractors and the Parish Council. Grassed areas will be seeded when the weather improves.
More work and funds needed to pay back the loan needed to get the project finished.
It can be used NOW.

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.
