>August Events / Events in Norfolk and Suffolk / Tourist Attractions Norfolk and Suffolk / Wildlife August 7, 2013
Taking up an invite from Jungle PR, the IceniPost crew set out towards North Norfolk on a wildlife adventure, and were not to be disappointed.
Pensthorpe Wildlife & Gardens in itself is a wonderful place to vist and wander around, but the new WildRootz attraction proved to be everything it promised and more.
In the eyes of a child these fantastic designed wooden constructions must appear like something from a fairy tale world.
The best way we can sum up our day is to share some of the many photographs taken during the visit.
Thank you Jungle PR and Pensthorpe for such a memorable day out.
