Day 2 Yorkshire Wildlife Park Driver’s Day Off

Among the 60 different species, highlights include Project Polar, home to the largest collection of polar bears in England; magnificent African Lions in the seven-acre Lion Country; a family of Californian sea lions in the largest purpose-built habitat of its kind in the world; and the 300-metre raised walkway above Land of the Tigers. Other critters to look out for include rhinos, giraffes, red pandas, leopards, monkeys, lemurs, zebras, and many more!

Today we have a full day at the magnificent Wentworth Woodhouse & Garden, the grand, Grade I listed Georgian house in a country setting north of Wrexham. It is known to be the largest privately owned home in Europe and boasts a lengthy façade of 606 feet! In the morning, we enjoy a guided house tour to explore the ornate principal State rooms and discover fascinating facts, historical details and anecdotes about the people who lived and worked here over the centuries. For lunch, we will sit down in the Long Gallery for a buffet lunch. This afternoon, we will explore the acres of stunning gardens with a garden tour.
