Trentham Monkey Forest |
|
 Monkey Forest is completely unique to the UK. It is the only place that you can walk amongst 140 Barbary macaques roaming free in 60 acres of beautiful English Forest. Walking in the park transports you into a different world through close contact with the monkeys. There are no bars here between you and the monkeys - this fantastic setting allows the macaques to display natural behaviours as they would in the wild. The guides are always at hand to explain the monkeys antics as they occur before your very eyes and give feeding talks every hour. At Monkey Forest, the monkeys rule the forest; playing, climbing and clowning around. As you walk through the forest if you are really lucky they may cross the path in front of you - or pose in all their splendour for that memorable picture! Currently at Trentham Monkey Forest we have 140 Barbary macaques free-ranging in a 60 acre forest. They live in 2 groups consisting of approximately 70 individuals in each. The groups have overlapping home ranges, which include food, water, and high trees where they sleep at night. All of the monkeys at Trentham have been relocated from our existing parks in France and Germany. Located 5 minutes drive from Junction 15 off the M6. Opening Times : Every day 10.00 am - 5.00 pm with the last entrance at 4.00pm 2010 prices : Adults £6.50, OAP's and students £6.00, Children £4.50 (3-14) under 3's free |
