Marwell Zoo, Conservation zoo in Owslebury, England
Marwell Zoo extends across 140 acres of Hampshire countryside, presenting 1,208 animals from 149 different species in naturalistic environments.
The zoo opened in 1972 when founder John Knowles sold his Rolls-Royce to purchase zebras, establishing one of Europe's first conservation-focused animal parks.
The Grade I listed Marwell Hall within the zoo grounds connects to Tudor history through its association with the Seymour family in the 1500s.
Visitors access educational programs, keeper talks, and animal encounters throughout the day, with digital tickets available for advance booking.
The zoo maintains specialized breeding programs for endangered species, including the scimitar-horned oryx which faces extinction in its natural habitat.
