A unique experience

Monkey forest is set in 60 acres of beautiful Staffordshire woodland and meadows where 140 monkeys live in total freedom. You are plunged into the Barbary macaques fascinating world as you hear rustling in the trees, chattering in a strange language and see the monkeys crashing through branches. To your right there is a male carrying a baby on his back, on your left are two females grooming each other, and in the trees are young monkeys doing acrobatics between the branches.

Walking along the path you are transported into a different world of animal magic!

Freedom!

At Monkey Forest the Barbary macaques roam freely in a 60 acre forest. As you enter the park you can observe the monkeys living in their fascinating society as they would in the Atlas mountains of Algeria and Morocco.
The two groups come from our existing parks in France and Germany and the monkeys have lived all their lives in a similar setting. Our non-invasive policy, where we intervene as little as possible, allows you to see the monkey's natural behaviour just as you would in the wild.
