Dudley Zoo and Castle: Encounter rare beasts

-

Meet 200 species of animal, and discover how Dudley’s conservati­on-first approach has won it awards. Endangered species here include Asiatic lions, Sumatran tigers and Bornean orang-utans, as well as the largest parentrear­ed colony of

Humboldt penguins in the UK. After you’ve met the animals, explore the 11th-century motte and bailey castle, built by the French and later home to the Earls of Dudley. Now the castle and grounds are used for reenactmen­ts, events and bird of prey demonstrat­ions.
