As you follow the woodland trails
you will see the great abundance of both wildlife and flora indigenous to this
area of great beauty. When you re-visit you'll be able to enjoy the scenery of
the changing seasons.
Look out for wild birds like
treecreepers, bluetits, robins, crows and pheasants, and mammals like bank
vole, squirrel and wood mouse - to name but a few. |

Welcome to the Chestnut Centre
Conservation
& Wildlife Park!
Our Conservation and Wildlife Park,
located in scenic Peak District National Park of Derbyshire, is set in 50 acres
of landscaped grounds and is home, not only to a unique collection of birds and
animals, but to many wild birds and mammals.
As you walk about the Wildlife Park
you'll see some of Europe's largest gathering of otters, 16 species of owls and
other indigenous wildlife all in their natural surroundings including,
buzzards, pine martens, polecats, foxes, Scottish wildcats and deer.
We're also delighted to have the
U.K's only
Giant Otter named Manoki. Native to South
America and an endangered species, they are very rare in captivity.
Just like the 35,000 visitors we
receive a year to the Chestnut Centre, we know you'll enjoy your visit - and
that you'll want to return time and time again!
