Description

Thorney Wildlife Park, located at Wisbech Rd, Thorney, in Peterborough, United Kingdom .


Comments / pictures

The Wildlife Park was set in the grounds of Thorney Abbey, a very pleasant site, and the wall which formed the backs of the old bear and big cat cages can still be seen across the meadows from the main road. Much of the site is visible on 'Google Earth'.

Many of the animals at Thorney were sourced from Roberts Brothers Circus which had its winter quarters at Polebrook (halfway between us and Oundle) where the Roberts had a farm, where Elephants and Llamas could be seen grazing in the fields.
