Windsor Safari Park was on what is now home to legoland,it almost certainly isn`t Causeway Safari Park,because like Pertinax said in his post it was in Northern Island,there are some photos on here taken at Causeway after it had closed.
i new winsor is closed, oh yes wat species did causaway keep
Causeway kept the normal safari park animals lions,tigers and elephants etc there are a few pics of the enclosures on here so have a look
Causeway Safari Park(Antrim, Northern Ireland) had a notable incident when three adult chimps escaped and went on the rampage. It became very rundown before it closed and I believe some of the Hamadryas Babboons at the Welsh Monkey Sanctuary were rescued from there as they had been abandoned and left behind.

Causeway Safari Park became a sanctuary run by the RSPCA or the irish equivalent I believe. They still had some big cats and baboons on site certainly upto the last few years as they featured in a TV series about the work there. They still had one of the elder keepers who still looked after some of the animals.
I know this is a long shot, posting now but Pertinax (or anyone else), can you confirm which year and which three chimps?

I can't remember the year. I think the three chimps were males and that one of them was called 'Ben' and was a later offspring of 'Buttons' & 'Susan'- the old breeding pair at Bristol Zoo. Sorry I have no other details.
