Birds from Around the Globe
Birdworld near Farnham is one of the largest bird parks in the United Kingdom, home to over 150 species from every continent. The park occupies 26 acres of parkland and lakes, with walk-through aviaries allowing visitors to get remarkably close to the birds. Highlights include the Penguin Beach enclosure, a tropical house with free-flying hummingbirds, an Australian aviary with lorikeets, and an impressive birds-of-prey collection featuring owls, eagles and falcons.
Adjacent to the bird park is Jenny Wren Farm, a small farm attraction included in the admission price. Here children can meet goats, rabbits, guinea pigs and other domestic animals. The Underwater World aquarium, also on site, houses tropical fish and terrapins. The park’s lakeside setting is attractive in its own right, with mature gardens and picnic areas beside the water.
Getting There & What to Know
Birdworld is located on the A325 at Holt Pound, about three miles south of Farnham. The park is open daily from late March to October and at weekends during winter months. It is conveniently close to Alice Holt Forest, making it possible to combine both attractions in a single day. Free parking is provided on site. Feeding times and keeper talks run throughout the day — check the schedule on arrival to plan your route around the park.
