Wolds Wildlife Park

“A fine collection of animals and birds set among the Lincolnshire Wolds.” - VisitEngland Assessor
Horncastle, Lincolnshire

Our View
Wolds Wildlife Park is in the market town of Horncastle, and is home to a fascinating variety of animals, including lions, brown bears, capybaras and ring-tailed lemurs. Among the creatures that need to be seen are the marmosets and macaques, as well as the sulcata tortoise, the third-largest tortoise in the world. And to think, the whole thing started in 2013 with just one zebra.

About the area
Discover Lincolnshire
Much of the fenland around the Wash has been drained of its marshes and reclaimed as highly productive farmland. Further north, the coastline, with its sandy beaches, has been developed to accommodate the holiday industry, with caravans, campsites and the usual seaside paraphernalia. The main resorts are Skegness, Mablethorpe, Cleethorpes and Ingoldmells. Inland, the chalky margin of the Lincolnshire Wolds offers an undulating landscape of hills and valleys, designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Lincoln, the county town, is dominated by its magnificent cathedral. Most of interest in the city is in the uphill area, Steep Hill, ascending from the River Witham; the Bailgate spanned by the Newport Arch, and the Minster Yard with its medieval and Georgian architecture. Boston, on the banks of Witham, was England’s second biggest seaport in the 13th and 14th centuries, when the wool trade was at its height. There are market towns all over the county still holding weekly markets, including Barton-upon-Humber, Boston, Bourne, Brigg, Crowland, Gainsborough, Grantham, Great Grimsby, Holbeach, Horncastle, Long Sutton, Louth, Market Rasen, Scunthorpe, Sleaford, Spalding (the centre of the flower industry), and the elegant Edwardian spa resort of Woodhall Spa.
