The British Wildlife Centre is a wildlife park at Newchapel, near Lingfield, on the Surrey/Sussex border. It houses more than 40 native species, from harvest mice and otters to wildcats and red deer, in landscaped enclosures with half-hourly keeper talks throughout the day. There is a coffee shop and gift shop on site. It suits families and wildlife enthusiasts looking for a proper half-day out; pre-booking is recommended and the centre opens mainly on weekends, bank holidays and school holidays rather than daily.
