Trips and Outings are a wonderful opportunity for a great day out to places of interest and for making new friends.
We are always looking for new ideas for visits or outings. If you have a suggestion or would like to help us arrange our next
September – Cotswold Wildlife Park Wednesday 11thSeptember – Cost £20pp.
List will be out for bookings at the August meeting when payment is due.
Usual pick-up times Exchange street 9am, Tennis club 9.10am, Jansel Square 9.15am
The park is situated in lovely surroundings and has good facilities, café, open areas to picnic and plenty of places to sit and ponder. The Cotswold Wildlife Park Railway, a narrow gauge railway operates around the wildlife park. The train willl take you around the park for a charge of £2 pp if you want the train to take the strain.
There is a good mix of the large animals and also the smaller ones, not all in the same enclosure! plenty to keep us interested and amused. The park is well known for its exotic planting, particularly in the favourable micro-climate of the Walled Garden, where bananas and cannas are a speciality. There is a huge pair of Californian redwood trees, imposing tree ferns and giant rhubarb with unusual foliage. Hopefully a lovely relaxing day in sunshine to finish our programme for this year.
