Prinknash Bird and Deer Park Zoos

Prinknash Bird and Deer Park is set in a wooded valley at the centre of a monastic estate between the impressive new Abbey to the North, and the old Abbey, once the hunting lodge of the Abbots of Gloucester and King Henry VIII.

The park has an unusually relaxed atmosphere, it is different from many other bird parks in that the landscape has been designed as an 18th Century park with traditional follies, enhanced by beautiful birds and animals.

On entering the park, over 50 peacocks and waterfowl welcome you as you walk towards the Love Bird Aviary and the Golden Wood, full of golden pheasants, leading to the haunted 'Monks' Fish Pont, teeming with large fish.
