Noah's Ark Zoo Farm is a 100-acre zoo developed on a working farm in Wraxall, North Somerset, 6 miles west of Bristol, England. It is home to the largest elephant facility in northern Europe. Noah’s Ark Zoo Farm was conceived by Anthony Bush, the son of a Wiltshire farm manager. In 1960 he became a tenant of Richard Gibbs, Lord Wraxall, at Moat House Farm, near Bristol, which Bush operated as a dairy farm. In 1962 he married Christina James, an art teacher, and they had four children. In 1968 Bush was elected onto the Somerset County Executive Committee of the National Farmers Union, and in 1980, he began a Farming and Wildlife Advisory Group to encourage farmers to conserve wildlife.
