Beale Wildlife Park and Gardens is situated by the River Thames, between the villages of Pangbourne and Lower Basildon in Berkshire, England.

It has collections of small exotic animals, farm animals and birds, landscaped gardens and woodlands.

The park was founded in 1956 by Gilbert Beale as his own private park. He was a keen collector and breeder of peacocks and these birds still roam free in the park. The name is known locally as both "Child-Beale" (after the founding charity) and colloquially as "The Peacock Farm."

Attractions
The park has a roplay area, a pets area, sand pits, paddling pools, Little Tikes Shop/Play Area and Steam Train.
