An unexpectedly excellent visit during a day out in Filey. Welcoming café followed by the most informative and highly interesting distillery tour. The whisky sampling topped off a fantastic experience. Should be on the itinerary of anyone visiting the area. A true gem.

Filey Bird Garden & Animal Park

Reviewed By buffetlegs2016 - Filey, United Kingdom

Hard to choose the best bit of the Animal Park and Gardens, but the meerkats must be somewhere near the top. This is a favourite with visitors who return year on year, but especially popular with local families. There is a children's play area, and a sensory garden; choose a picnic in one of the many cosy nooks or visit the cafe and gift shop on site. Plenty of free parking. This place is run with passion, and you can tel. Covid safe.

Great measum it is two cottages knocked together. The lovely lady who runs this is happy to answer any questions you may have. Well worth a visit, this measum is run voluntarily so any donations would be used well. Keep places like this going as they are few and far.
