This is a small but intriguing attraction where you can see and learn about all of Britain’s reptiles in one place. Adders, grass snakes, smooth snakes, lizards, frogs and toads are all displayed in open air pens within a natural environment. See them enjoying the sunshine, go for a walk around the grounds and stop by for a picnic. There’s even a marked cycle route.

A fifteen minute drive away is the reptile centre, which helps protect rare snakes and lizards and encourages the re-introduction of these animals across the country. There are special outdoor ‘pods’ at the Centre which provide a natural home to the sand lizard, smooth snake and adder. These reptiles can be difficult to see in the wild as they are rare and very secretive, so the Reptile Centre is a great place to see them close-up.
