This private zoo was established in 1957 by John Aspinall near Canterbury and is known for being different from other animal parks by encouraging close personal relationships between the staff and animals. It also breeds rare and endangered species. Inside the park you can see the largest breeding herd of African Elephants and Lion-Tailed Macaque in the UK. It also has some of the largest family groups of Western Lowland Gorilla in the world. School groups will leave this park with a smile having seen one of the best animal parks in the UK.

For a small city Canterbury is a very interesting city, not just for first time visitors but also for those interested in the history of England. The Romans first built the city walls and it was here that St. Augustine brought Christianity to these islands nearly 1500 years ago. It is here that the battles between the church and the monarchy have been fought out shaping the structure of how England is ruled and governed.

There are many historical buildings to see from the Norman castle to the impressive West Gate. You will find plenty of shopping streets filled with pubs and restaurants offering a chance to refresh before learning about the city’s rich history.
