Shepreth Wildlife Park (Willersmill)

Shepreth Wildlife Park is one of East Anglia'a leading tourist attractions and winner of Cambridgeshire's 'Family attraction of the Year 2003' award by the Good Britain Guide.

Established in 1979, the park is set around three lakes where huge carp feed right from the hands. Home to tigers, lynx, monkeys, otter and wolves to name a few, we also have a tropical pavilion where exotic birds and reptiles reside. A popular attraction is Waterworld and Bug City our indoor fish and insect house which is the inspiration behind the National Geographical Channel's series 'Insects from Hell'. Here you will come face to face with the largest species of spider in the world, scorpions, cockroaches, leaf cutter ants, giant millipedes, lobsters and sturgeon fish, plus many more.
