Prinknash Bird Park, Prinknash Park, Nr Cranham, Glos

Prinknash Bird Park, adjoining Prinknash Abbey, provides a wonderful day out for families. Young children in particular will enjoy feeding the animals housed here. 'Bird Park' does not really do Prinknash justice, as not only arc there Snow Geese, Bar Headed Geese from China, Red fallow deer, or the fun loving mischievous African Pygmy Goats. Or invest in a bag of fish food at the Monk's Pond and watch the water boil with fish.
