Wild Place Project has scooped the ‘Large Visitor Attraction of the Year’ award at the South West England Tourism Excellence Awards and after our visit on Thursday we can see why. The prestigious accolade, which was announced during an online ceremony on Friday, follows another win earlier this month of ‘Attraction of the Year’ from the Bristol, Bath and Somerset Tourism Awards. The double win shines a spotlight on the staff and volunteers at the conservation attraction, who have continued to provide the highest levels of customer service and animal welfare and operations management, despite an unprecedented year of closures and restrictions.
