This is the Safari Park in Northern Ireland. It closed in about 1996 and the animals have been dispersed over the past 10 years (the Chimps and Baboons to Cefn-yr-Erw), the remaining 4 Lions were euthanased last year shortly before my visit. Since 1996 it has been run by Norman Elder (who hit the headlines a month or so ago) and used by the USPCA to house rescued animals - mainly dangerous dogs. There is a tiger there, rehomed from a private keeper.
The site is badly run down but a fascinating place to poke around.
