For years the wetland habitats of Britain have been decimated by pollution and over-exploitation by man. Pensthorpe was born as a part of a visionary plan to reverse this decline.

Pensthorpe is set in 500 acres of beautiful countryside with miles of nature trails to explore through ancient fen meadows, woodland and a superb series of lakes. Pensthorpe is home to a fine collection of waterfowl including endangered exotic waterfowl from around the world. Dozens of migratory bird species can be seen during the winter and summer months and our specially created hides help you get closer to nature.

Pensthorpe includes the Millennium Garden designed by the internationally acclaimed plantsman Piet Oudolf.
