A tropical paradise has been created in the centre of what was until recently a desolate stretch of redundant farm fields and marshland in South Wiltshire. It is a butterfly farm, an exotic showplace, bright with colour and fluttering wings: the Studley Grange Butterfly World. The butterfly farm is the jewel in the crown of a complex that includes art and handicraft units, ceramic and stained glass workshops, painting and photographic studios, together with a garden centre that is one of the most up-to-date and comprehensive in its range in the country. At Butterfly World, one of the largest in Britain, visitors can see up to 30 species of butterfly – with hundreds flying around at any one time – in the 600 sq m hot house. Over 200 varieties of tropical plant add colour and exotica to the atmosphere in the attractively laid out centre, with its little streams and rustic bridges, waterfalls and fishponds.
