Coronavirus (COVID-19)

If you are planning on travelling distance to attractions, we would recommend that you contact the venues directly in advance to avoid disappointment.

If you, or any of your party have a new persistant cough, or develop a fever of 38C, we would instead advise you to use the NHS's dedicated website for professional advice.

South Lakes Wild Animal Park

The Lake District's only zoological park is recognised as one of Europe's leading conservation zoos. The rolling 17 acres are home to the rarest animals on earth; they are participants in co-ordinated breeding programmes to save them from almost certain extinction in the wild. We have been called the most animal-friendly zoo in Britain because of our unique way of looking after the animals. Many have complete freedom to wander at will, such as lemurs, exotic parrots, kangaroos and wallabies.
