The high point of the walk

The African penguin area has a colony of 25 birds.

Numbers will grow as the penguins breed.

The areas is divided into two parts

  • A 120-square-metre (143-square-yard) glass-walled pool, 1.80 metres (nearly 6 feet) deep with four windows, where visitors have an underwater view of the penguins swimming through the clear water.
  • The beach is a haven for marine mammals. It is made up of natural sandy soil with shingle. There are also rocks and plants, mainly grasses, and a bed of gravel around the pool.
