The view from the steps

The mansion is on the left. The formal garden runs downhill to the trees. The belt of woodland contains cages for primates and some small cats with paddocks for bongo, anoa and Malayan tapirs. The land on the other side of the mansion is more open, the elephants and ungulates are kept there.
The flat land beyond the trees is the Romney Marsh; on a clear day the coast of France can be seen on the other side of the English Channel.

Thanks for posting this; when I went it was drizzling and you could only just make out the English Channel from here!

Thank you for the nice view. I will be going there in late October and after seeing this I am even more excited.

I was going in late October too, but unfortunately my plans have fallen thru :(

Really looking forward to seeing this view some time.

There are an awful lot of steps too.

At the top of these steps is a small flat area of pine trees adjacent to the road where they keep Tigers, sometimes lions, some hunting dogs (and formerly the wolves) This small area is almost seperate from the rest of the Park.

When I went in Late May the pine wood had siberian tigers, babary lions, wolves and hunting dogs (though I didn't see the latter). The couple of years out-of-date map on the website shows Dhole in the top left-hand corner of the area, though I couldn't see any trace of an enclosure being there when I went.

The cage for the spare male baboons that you pass before you enter the park is very close to them as well. It formerly held the colobus monkeys before they built the open-air enclosure for them.
