Anna’s Welsh Zoo was created when designer Anna Ryder Richardson and her husband Colin bought Manor House Wildlife Park in West Wales in 2008.
A faded attraction, it required serious investment to improve the conditions for the animals and the park has since been transformed into a modern zoo set in 52 acres of Pembrokeshire parkland, with spacious natural enclosures and high welfare standards.
Highlights include three bachelor Southern White Rhinos and a breeding group of Scimitar-horned Oryx, extinct in the wild. In 2014, two giant geodesic domes are being erected.
The zoo participates in European breeding programmes and has a focus on local biodiversity conservation.
