Welcome to the New Forest Wildlife Park!
(Formerly New Forest Otter, Owl and Wildlife Park)
The New Forest Wildlife Park
covers twenty-five scenic acres of ancient woodland. It is set within
the New Forest Heritage area, designated a National Park in 2005.
A wander in our Park will reveal a wonderful range of wildlife - in natural surroundings. Here we have 3
species Eurasian (indigenous to Uk) Asian Short Claw and North American
River otter; European
wolf, 12 species of owls, badgers, foxes and deer. Other mammals to be
seen are polecats, mink, pine martens and highly endangered Scottish
wildcat, lynx, wallaby and wild boar.
You can
stroll through the animal house...to enjoy watching otters swimming
underwater, ferrets chasing their tails, harvest mice home-making on top
of corn stalks...or the night barn for snoring badgers and red foxes.
Then try
the Wildlife Walkabout: passing more otters on the way to the see the
owls in their Owlery...where tame fallow and sika deer graze, keenly
observed by pine marten and wildcats.
As you
leave the red deer meadow, via a boardwalk, you may spot Grishkin the
lynx - relaxing at home - high in the fir trees. As you make your way
down to visit the family of wild boar, and on past our new Eurasian
wolf enclosure, treading gently to encourage our wallabies to cross your
path.
Open every day!
Pop in to the Woodland Bakehouse Tearoom
for a super choice of tasty meals and light refreshments. You’ll also
