Article: DAYS OUT ; Trentham Monkey Forest, Staffordshire,

The venue

The industrial landscape of the Potteries is an unlikely place to find a forest full of monkeys. But beyond the defunct pot banks and coal mines there are plenty of green spaces, not least the pleasure park, Trentham Gar-dens. At the southern end of that estate, 60 acres have been enclosed to provide a home for 140 Barbary Macaques. There they roam in freedom, interacting at will with the humans who pay to get a closer look by following a trail amid the trees where the monkeys play. It's an extraordinarily intimate experience, enhanced by the presence of knowledgeable staff who roam the grounds
