GENERAL INFORMATION ON THE CHILLINGHAM WILD CATTLE
Visit this unique herd of wild cattle in the park at Chillingham, the sole survivors of herds that once roamed the forests of Britain. They are truly wild, and potentially dangerous, so must be approached with care. Visitors are able to see the cattle only when accompanied by the Warden, who will ensure your safety, take you as close as possible and talk about the cattle and their history.
The Chillingham Wild Cattle are the only cattle in the world that have remained pure. No outside blood has been introduced. They still roam wild in their historical surroundings in the 365 acre park at Chillingham, which was enclosed in the 13th century to provide food and hunting. Their numbers vary between 40 and 60. This is the total world population. They can only be seen at Chillingham.
