Monkey Forest Trentham, Stafford added to Parks and Recreation in West Midlands by D0c.Col on 02/04/2025

I flew around the fringe of the Monkey Forest in order not to disturb them and the views over Trentham Park Lake are great.

Trentham Monkey Forest is home to 140 free-roaming Barbary macaques, allowing visitors to experience these endangered monkeys living as they would in the wild. A 3/4-mile pathway offers an immersive experience, with no cages or bars, where guests can walk, observe, and learn about the monkeys’ natural behaviors. Located in an ancient Staffordshire forest, it’s a perfect day out for visitors of all ages, providing a unique chance to see the monkeys live freely and learn about their conservation. After a year-long rejuvenation project, the forest officially opened its doors on July 19, 2005, showcasing the vast woodland once landscaped by Capability Brown.

A great day out for the family and right next door the the fabulous Trentham Park.

Carparking is free but there is a charge for entry into the Mankey Forest itself.
