Wildlife parks in the southeast of the UK?

Hi folks,





I recently visited the New Forest Owl, Otter and Wildlife Conservation Park and loved it. But I was surprised to struggle a bit to find it.





Can anyone recommend similar in the southeast of the UK? Particularly in Surrey, Hampshire, Sussex or Dorset.

There is the Hawk Conservancy near Andover. Well worth a visit.

Finkley Down Farm, also near Andover.

Finkley is aimed more at families but I just take the kids as an excuse to go myself. I love it there!


Butser Hill National Nature Reserve, part of Queen Elizabeth Country Park, if you like to look at beautiful views and hopefully some butterflies.

There is also a wildlife conservation park in Kent but I can't think of the name - I'll come back to you on that one.
