Prinknash Bird & Deer Park

One can be forgiven for thinking of this beautiful setting as a gift from Heaven. Gently sloping grounds, liberally sprinkled with wild birds, tame deer, peacocks and secluded lakes and ponds, make up the 9 acres of Prinknash Bird & Deer Park.

On entering the Park over 50 peacocks and waterfowl welcome you as you stroll towards the Love Bird Aviary and Golden Wood, full of golden Pheasants, leading to the haunted 'Monk's' Fish Pond, teeming with large fish.

Leaving the wood your attention is immediately drawn to the lovely two storey Wendy House by the lake. A joy for children who love to play at being grown-ups, while the grown-ups sit, watching and wishing they could be children again.

Walking away from the Wendy House and skirting the lake with its romantic island and numerous swans, ducks and geese, you will be charmed by the small Fallow Deer nosing your pockets and handbags as they seek tit-bits while following you towards the

White Peacocks on the tree lined path leading to the Domed Aviary full of song birds.

With the Black Swans, the frisky and pretty African Pygmy Goats, the graceful Crown Cranes and the colourful - and noisy - Budgerigar Aviary, fun and relaxation is assured for as long as you want your visit to last.

The Park is situated between Stroud and Cheltenham, a little north of the beautiful village of Painswick,
on the A46 trunk road and is open seven days a week -
10.00 a.m to 5.00 p.m in the Summer months and 10.00 a.m. to 4.00 p.m. in the Winter.

The Park, however, is closed on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and Good Friday.
