Thrigby Hall Wildlife Gardens
You will find Thrigby Hall Wildlife Gardens south of the village of Filby, just 8 miles outside Great Yarmouth. Follow the brown road signs from the A47 at Acle or from A149 at Caister on Sea.
Progressive zoos like Thrigby Hall Wildlife Gardens are fast becoming a last refuge for many species as their natural homes are destroyed by the greed of man. Thrigby Hall Wildlife Gardens is a strong supporter of The World Zoo Conservation Strategy of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature. The collection of animals at Thrigby was the first to be signed over in its entirety to the Joint Management of Species Programme.
The tiger tree walk high in the trees is not for the faint hearted. It is a special walk constructed in the trees that surround the tigers' enclosure to provide the opportunity for an excellent birds' eye view.
At Thrigby visitors can see a vast range of animals including tigers and other cats, red pandas, primates, small mammals, crocodiles, snakes and an array of birds. There is a café and gift shop and children’s play areas.

Norfolk has a spectacular coastline, with long sandy beaches, high cliffs, sand dunes, flint pebble banks and salt marshes. It is also well known for the Norfolk Broads, an extensive waterway that can be fully explored by boat. There are many towns and villages within Norfolk, all with their own individual characters. The port of King's Lynn has a long trading history, and today it still has large trade links with the rest of Europe.
The Norfolk Broads are thought to have been created by the flooding of ancient peat diggings. They consist of large expanses of water, long meandering rivers and smaller lakes and dykes and are unique throughout Britain. North Norfolk has so much to offer, with miles of beautiful beaches, seaside towns like Cromer and Sheringham, and market towns such as Aylsham. More information about these places can be found in our towns and villages section.
