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.

Throughout the park, food may be purchased to allow the children to feed the animals.
