Hope Nature Centre in Southwick Country Park in Wiltshire is celebrating after winning two major visitor attraction awards. The charity run visitor attraction has clinched a coveted 2022 TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice Award, hot off the back of the Muddy Stilettos Best Wiltshire Family Attraction award. The Animal Park and Café based just outside Trowbridge is celebrating its wins after a difficult few years, with COVID-19 closing the attraction for over six months.

Every year, TripAdvisor awards attractions that regularly provide outstanding experiences with a Travellers’ Choice Award, and with a 4.5/5 score on the reviewing platform, Hope Nature Centre made it into the top 10% of attractions that get the award.
