MONKEYS!!!!!!!!!!

The monkey Forst in Trentham is something not a lot of my friends have heard of. Shrouded deep in the trees lies a land of fury friends who roam free. This natural reserve breeds the rare and endangered Barbary Macaques who come from Northern Africa.

On arrival there is a small entrance fee where you are checked for guns, bombs, drugs, plastic bags and razer blade hidden bannanas.

After you go through security you enter what can only be described as a Jurrasic Park type gate (What do they got in there, King Kong?). You walk along a trail where you can see Monkey's roaming without fences in their natural habitat (of North Africa) deep in Stoke-on-Trent's forests.

When we arrived one of the park attendance told us to wait as he pointed our a family of monkey's making their way along the trail. You are not allowed to touch the monkeys nor feed them. But you can get very close.

Within the forest complex there is a gift shop and Banna Cafe selling various sandwiches and light snacks. The gift shop sells as you might have guessed everything monkey related.

It's a great day out for adventurers of all ages.

Summary: Monkeys everywhere!
