The Tudor House is one of the Margate’s oldest buildings, dating back to the first half of the sixteenth century. Its form is that of a ‘transitional house’ – bridging the gap between the medieval open-hall and early-modern houses with two storeys throughout. The house contains many interesting features that indicate it was a high status building, including glazed windows and two chimneys.
Wingham Wildlife Park first opened its doors as Wingham Bird Park in 1986, changing its name to Wingham Wildlife Park approximately 15 years later. The park is now so much more than birds, since it was given a new lease of life, when it was taken over by new owners on Valentines day 2008.
Come and see the vast number of changes and improvements which have been made to the park since 2008, all of which led to us being Kents most popular attraction during the 2012 Kent Big Weekend.
