Tiggywinkles Wildlife Hospital:
The Most Famous Wildlife Hospital In England!

England, and more specifically Buckinghamshire, is the site of the busiest wildlife hospital in the world. This is a little bit of trivia that very few people know, and you could actually visit it if you happen to be in the area! Located in Haddenham, Aylesbury, Tiggywinkles Wildlife Hospital is one of the best-known wildlife hospitals in England as it is often featured on TV and actually treats around 10,000 wild animals that have been injured every year. You can experience their good work for yourself.

Tiggywinkles Wildlife Hospital is open all year round and so you can take a look at the work that these amazing people do at any time of the year, thanks to the visitors’ centre that has been established on the site. Before that, the hospital could not be opened to the public in case it hindered the recovery of the animals, but the opening of the centre made it possible to publicize what happens there.

Tiggywinkles Wildlife Hospital’s wards are not open to visitors (although you can see then on CCTV monitors that are displayed there), but the enclosures that feature the permanent residents are. There are hedgehogs, rabbits, badgers, foxes and deer for you to go visit. They are all disabled and were lucky to survive but have now found a new home at Tiggywinkles Wildlife Hospital. You can see the history of the place, the nature of the creatures and the innovative techniques that help the vets to save the animals.

Tiggywinkles Wildlife Hospital does feature some beautiful gardens that you can wander through at your own leisure, taking it all in. It is a fantastic place to visit if you do have an interest in wildlife or the outdoors and want to go somewhere different. Going to Tiggywinkles Wildlife Hospital will help the nature that they care so much about there so it is worth a trip.
