Welcome to Wraxall

Wraxall is a small village located in the county of Somerset, England. It is situated approximately 5 miles to the west of Bristol and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. The village is home to a number of historic buildings, including the Grade II listed Wraxall Court, which dates back to the 16th century. The village also has a number of amenities, including a post office, a village hall, and a pub.

One of the main attractions in Wraxall is Tyntesfield, a Victorian Gothic Revival house that was built in the mid-19th century. The house was originally owned by the Gibbs family, who made their fortune in the guano trade. The house and its grounds were gifted to the National Trust in 2002 and are now open to the public. Visitors can explore the house and its gardens, which include a walled kitchen garden, a rose garden, and a woodland walk.

Another popular attraction in Wraxall is the Noah's Ark Zoo Farm, which is located just outside the village. The zoo is home to a wide range of animals, including tigers, giraffes, and rhinos. Visitors can also take part in a number of activities, such as feeding the animals and taking a tractor ride around the farm. The zoo is committed to conservation and education, and works closely with a number of conservation organizations to protect endangered species.
