BlobbyLand, Cricket St Thomas.

I thought the general setting of Blobbyland was a wildlife park afterwards and now a hotel. Or is that somewhere else?

That's the one. Blobbyland was very much off to the side as a separate venture though.

Cricket St. Thomas was a wildlife park long before the Blobby invasion. The people of Chard and other places in the area held their heads in collective shame when this 'feature' showed up. It was because Edmonds had put money into the park that he was able to build it at all. IIRC he effectively owned the entire estate at one point.

To be fair, his money helped a lot of animals who were otherwise doomed until he got involved. So was it about saving the park animals, or blatant publicity for his latest character? only he knows. The fact is that the park survived (at least for a while) because of his cash injection, so I have mixed feelings.
