About British Wildlife Centre

The British Wildlife Centre was established to educate people about the beauty and wonder of Britain's own native wildlife in the hope that they will be inspired to protect it for future generations to enjoy.

There are over 40 native species at the centre and the animals are housed in large enclosures landscaped to reflect natural habitats.You will have the opportunity to see up-close rarely seen species such as otters, Scottish wildcats and pine martens, as well as foxes, deer, badgers and beautiful free-flying British owls. The Centre has the UK’s first Walk-through Red Squirrel Enclosure allowing you to walk amongst free-ranging red squirrels in their own wooded Copse. Half hourly keeper talks give you the chance to learn more about these animals, while seeing them even closer. The Centre offers so much to see and provides excellent opportunities for wildlife photography.

  • Discover Britain's Wonderful Wildlife- It's a REAL natural history experience!

    The British Wildlife Centre in the heart of the East Surrey countryside is home to the finest collection of native species in the country, where you will see and learn about Britain’s own wonderful wildlife, with over forty different species on display.
