A country that has a rich historical, cultural and natural heritage, England provides visitors with a truly unforgettable holiday adventure. Nature lovers have much to see and do here, since the stunning countryside offers the perfect backdrop in which to enjoy a day out amidst lush green landscapes. If you are heading to the country with your kids or even if you love wildlife then a visit to the Birmingham Nature Centre is definitely worth planning.
Located around two miles from the Birmingham city centre, this fascinating family attraction can be found along Pershore Road and features not only wildlife from Europe, but other parts of the world as well. There are also many endangered reptiles here and the centre’s breeding programmes play an important role in ensuring the survival of these species.
As you explore the park you will come across a wide cross section of animals ranging from Scottish wild cats to lynxes and wallabies to otters. Red squirrels, capybara and beavers are a particular favourite amongst younger visitors, while the red panda, the black & white ruffed lemur, white-naped cranes, mouse lemur, squirrel monkey, the pied tamarin and the golden-headed lion tamarind are among the other species one will find here.
The centre also features a diverse array of habitats such as wetlands and woodlands that support their own ecosystems. It is common to see such animals as squirrels, kingfishers and newts in the area which add to the overall charm of the site and gives one the feeling of truly being in a natural setting far removed from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Apart from viewing animals, visitors can also learn more about animal and nature conservation which make this site more than just an entertaining one. End your visit by having a relaxed meal at the onsite café or if you prefer have lunch at one of the picnic areas.
