    If you look at Marwell's zoo map on their website it's essentially in the top right corner... its right next to where the old encounter village/petting zoo is - where now they have a few aviaries and some reptile vivariums etc.

    Oops, my bad. I thought you were talking about Twycross... hence the confusion. Thanks anyway! :)

    Probably because they don't have any outstanding enclosures.

    Just came across an old video on u tube From 2017 for those whom haven’t seen the rare sight of them outside, at 51 seconds there are two outside and swinging must have been a calm day
