Due to its remoteness, Lonsdale Park is home to a wide variety of wild life and popular with bird watchers with its resident kingfishers and visiting Ospreys, Buzzards, Red Starts and a wide variety of birds which overwintrer at the site. One regular bird watcher recently counted 45 different species of birds at one sitting.

As a result, Londsale Park thoroughly recommends guests to explore the surroundings quietly in order to share the excitement of previous visitors who have spotted not only rare birds but also deer, foxes and badgers.

More recent arrivals were a family of hedgehogs who took up residence near the cottages and were frequently seen by guests whilst the wetter than usual weather proved a bonus for the wild orchids which flourished better than ever.
