Whipsnade Zoo: A Roaming Adventure

Whipsnade Zoo is a fantastic day out, offering plenty of opportunities to get your steps in while exploring the animal kingdom. There's a wonderful variety of creatures to see, from the majestic to the quirky. Unfortunately, the big cats seemed to be enjoying a well-deserved nap, making them a little elusive.

The zoo is beautifully situated with stunning views over Dunstable Downs, making it a perfect spot for a picnic. If you prefer not to pack your own food, there's a good selection of eateries dotted around the site.

A particular highlight was the penguin enclosure and the charming little steam train. However, finding your way around could be a challenge as the site isn't always clearly signposted.

Overall, Whipsnade Zoo is a great place to spend a day, but be prepared for a lot of walking and keep your eyes peeled for those sleepy big cats!
