At Highlands End Holiday Park we have three well established Badger sets on or near the park. Our regular visitors spend many hours watching the badgers who will soon appear for milk or food. The Badgers are not tame, but are happy living alongside our visitors and in return for the benefit of the food will let you get fairly close and take photographs. To a certain extent they trust people on the park. |
