A British zoo has unveiled a unique 'bug hotel' inspired by Bristol's iconic Clifton Suspension Bridge.
Located at Noah’s Ark Zoo Farm, a zoo and conservation charity situated just 19 miles from Bristol, the latest attraction is a miniature architectural wonder crafted to accommodate butterflies, spiders, slugs, ants, bees, and more.
The distinctive bug hotel was conceived by Chris Brookes, the zoo's retail and enterprise manager, as a lighthearted tribute to Bristol's famous bridge.
Chris Brookes explained, “I wanted to create this themed bug hotel that looked like Bristol’s Clifton suspension bridge to support our local conservation efforts. We’re not far from the iconic bridge and many of our visitors travel over it to reach us. It took a few spare hours here and there over a week – inspired by great architecture.”
The Bug Hotel provides a secure refuge for insects to take shelter, hibernate, lay eggs, and evade predators. Additionally, it aims to ignite interest in nature and species conservation, particularly among children, encouraging them to participate in environmental protection.
Brookes continued, “My main reason for building the hotel was to inspire both children and adults to do something for bugs in their own gardens and spaces. Bug shelters can be made really easily and it’s important for local environments to encourage invertebrates to thrive – they’re fundamental to our ecosystems.”
Nestled within the zoo’s picturesque grounds, the Clifton Suspension Bridge Bug Hotel represents a small but meaningful effort to promote biodiversity and support the local ecosystem.
