Home to not one but two wildlife parks, there have never been so many opportunities to meet the animals.

Whether you want to see monkeys, camels or lions, there is a fantastic array of animals to see and spot at these top wildlife attractions.

Get out for a Walk or Fly a Kite at the Dunstable Downs
Kids aren’t always keen on long walks but you can convince them to stretch their legs a bit. Head to the National Trust’s Chiltern Gateway Centre where the best opportunities for high winds and excellent kite flying opportunities can be found. The views from here are truly fabulous and the cafe on site makes this an appealing place for parents too.
