Meet our animals
*UPDATE - SPRING 2023*. Our bird garden is not currently open to the public while we restore order following the national avian flu lockdown. Back soon! The goat and rabbit enclosures and play area are open as normal.Claythorpe Watermill is a gorgeous spot in the lovely Lincolnshire countryside. We’re home to an adorable collection of birds and animals, from budgies and runner ducks, to guinea pigs, giant rabbits and pygmy goats.Some of our animals have lived at Claythorpe for many years, and we ask all our visitors to respect their home. They’re all used to human company, but they do like an easy life, and are happiest with a little peace and quiet. So when you pass through the gate into the wildfowl garden, take your time, have a seat and enjoy the company of the birds – we hope you’ll find it as tranquil and relaxing as they do.Admission to the animal areas and the play area is by ticket. There are strictly no dogs allowed in the animals areas.
