Clifton plot to be sold off and zoo will relocate to its Wild Place Project in South Gloucestershire
The world’s oldest surviving provincial zoo is being relocated from the prime location in Bristol that has been its home for almost two centuries as a result of the financial shock of the coronavirus crisis.
Bristol Zoo Gardens, a 12-acre plot in the Clifton area of the city, is to be sold off and animals and staff moved to its satellite Wild Place Project site across the border in South Gloucestershire.
