What can you do at Thorp Perrow Arboretum and Wildlife Park?
The bird of prey centre has a great number of cages with a large variety of birds. Our favourite by far was the Ravens. Turns out they have a very friendly fellow who kept saying hello to us in a very deep voice (hours of fun!). They also have birds of prey displays. Next to here, you will find a small wildlife park with more birds, meerkats, wallabies, goats and sheep.
The Arboretum is a maze of pathways, no two walks around the grounds will be the same. We chose to randomly wander around. They have a handy map with all the different points of interest. we managed to find most of them. Points of interest include islands, the Bothy, monuments and oak trees. There is also an adventure playground with an intriguing climbing frame and a mini assault course.
