Birdland Park and Gardens

Birdland Park and Gardens is a bird park on roughly 9 acres with over 500 birds from around 130 species in different habitats. The grounds include gardens, woodland areas, and riverside sections where the birds live and can be observed.

The park was founded in 1957 by builder Len Hill and was one of the first bird parks in Britain. Its creation marked the start of a new way to bring birds closer to the public.

The park displays bird species from various regions living in natural habitats, giving visitors insight into different ecosystems. You see how the animals interact in woodlands, waterways, and open spaces.

The park is easily reached on foot and the paths are well paved and easy to navigate. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes and be prepared for changing weather conditions, especially in the colder months.

The park is home to England's only breeding King Penguins, which live in specialized enclosures by the riverbank. These rare penguins normally inhabit southern oceans and their presence here is remarkable.
