The day after my driving experience, Gemma and I decided to break up the journey home from Stafford with a visit to Whipsnade Zoo. The astute among you will realise that this post comes far later than it should, but, I took some excellent photos of the animals and wanted to share them with you!

The weather on the day couldn’t have been better, it was hot and sunny yet the zoo was relatively quiet which meant we could take our time to watch the fantastic array of different animals. It didn’t feel like a traditional zoo, the animals had acres of space and if zoos and conservation parks are a necessity then Whipsande should set the standard.

All of the animals were a pleasure to watch and we had an excellent time. Aside from the usual overpriced food and drink, a hurdle we side stepped by taking our own, I would certainly recommend you visit Whipsnade Zoo if you are anywhere near Dunstable.
