TripAdvisor reviews describe it a ‘great place to visit’ ‘full of good surprises’ and ‘very young kid oriented with a play zone and café’ so an ideal place for Ely photographer Nicky Still to pay a visit a few days before Christmas.

Nicky’s camera phone has captured hundreds of glorious moments in recent years and her trip to Shepreth Wildlife Park near Royston proved to be no exception.
