Dartmoor Zoological Park, Zoo in Sparkwell, Devon, United Kingdom.
The 33-acre zoological park contains numerous animal enclosures where visitors can observe lions, tigers, jaguars, and pumas in naturalistic habitats.
Ellis Daw established the facility in 1968 on the Goodamoor Estate, which includes a house constructed during the seventeenth century.
The zoo's transformation into a charitable organization in 2014 reinforced its dedication to wildlife preservation, research initiatives, and educational programs.
Located 15 minutes from Plymouth, the park maintains daily operations from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM with online ticket booking available.
Benjamin Mee's 2008 book about purchasing and renovating the park inspired a major film production starring Matt Damon.
