The Eden Project, St Austell, Cornall
The Eden Project is a visitor attraction in the United Kingdom, including the world's largest greenhouse. Inside the artificial biomes are plants that are collected from all around the world.
The project is located in a reclaimed Kaolinite pit, located 1.25 miles (2 km) from the town of St Blazey and 3 miles (5 km) from the larger town of St Austell, Cornwall.
The complex comprises a number of domes that house plant species from around the world, each dome emulating a natural biome. The domes are made out of hundreds of hexagons plus a few pentagons that connect the whole construction; each of these is a transparent cushion made of tough plastic. The first dome emulates a tropical environment, the second a warm temperate, Mediterranean environment.
The Monkey Sanctuary, Looe, Cornwall
The Monkey Sanctuary is home to the The Monkey Sanctuary Trust, a charity established to promote the welfare, conservation and survival of primates.
The Sanctuary is home to rescued pet monkeys, and a large colony of Amazonian Woolly Monkeys. The Sanctuary was the first place in the world to successfully breed the Woolly Monkeys outside of their native habitat.
Friendly staff are always willing to talk to visitors about about monkey behaviour and what we can all do to help preserve their natural environment. There are also regular workshops for all ages and abilities.
After meeting the monkeys, why not have a bite to eat in the Tree Top Cafe or visit the fairtrade gift shop.
The Sanctuary is open from 11am to 4.30pm, Sunday to Thursday, each week between the beginning of April and the end of September.
