Why it's Wildland
5.4A 140-acre Hampshire zoo where a day out centres on seeing exotic and endangered animals.
Marwell offers a substantial animal-focused day out near Winchester, with a reported 140 acres and a mix of animal exhibits, talks and events. It is a managed zoo experience rather than a wild landscape, so its appeal is seeing animals and exploring the grounds—not seeking wildlife in a natural habitat.
