Prinknash Abbey and Bird Park |

On entering the park over 50 peacocks and waterfowl
welcome you as you walk towards the Love Bird Aviary and the
Golden Wood full of golden pheasants leading to the haunted
'Monks' fish pond teeming with large fish. Leaving the wood
your attention is quickly drawn to the lovely two storey
Tudow Wendy House by the lake. A joy for children who play
at being adults, while adults sit and watch wishing they
were children. Walking away from the Wendy House and
skirting the lake with its romantic island and numerous
swans, ducks and geese you are quickly distracted by the
tame fallow deer, nosing into your handbags and pockets.
Look for the white peacocks on the tree lined path leading
to the Domed Aviary full of song birds. Crown cranes tread
their measured steps towards the gazebo reflected in the
formal pool. With the deer still in attendance you will pass
the black swans and the wild 'deer park' with its great stag
and herd of fallow deer, ending your visit along the path
leading to the water garden and pergola to the budgerigar
aviary. |
