Hamerton Zoo Park near Sawtry in Cambridgeshire houses rare animals and a new adventure play area.

Hamerton Zoo Park, situated near Sawtry between Huntingdonshire and Peterborough, began as a private collection that opened to the public in June 1990. Over 35 years, it has expanded significantly, with the number of distinct animal breeds increasing considerably. The entrance area has undergone a makeover, and a new adventure play park has recently opened.

The zoo houses a diverse range of animals, from common marmosets and swinging lemurs to tiny dik-dik deers, white wallabies and tortoises. Greater Flamingos are on display, and visitors can walk through the bird enclosure. The park also features sloths, which cling to branches and ropes while eating upside down, along with a reptile and rodent house containing rare lizards and snakes.

Trtetop Adventure Play includes an obstacle course connected with ladders and ropes, a zipwire, slides and a Rubik cube-like climbing puzzle designed to challenge both children and adults.
