Brief description

https://www.thedonkeysanctuary.org.uk/what-we-do

"This free-to-visit, award-winning attraction has something special to offer, whether you’re looking for quality time with the kids, or somewhere calming to kick back with a coffee and cake.

Explore everything the sanctuary has to offer, from award-winning gardens and scenic coastal path walks to engaging exhibits - there’s so much to explore with your own herd whatever the weather!

We are a working farm and many of our walkways are grass, so please dress appropriately and bring suitable footwear for the weather.

Dogs are welcome at the sanctuary but they must be kept on a lead at all times. Dogs are also welcome in The Kitchen restaurant but please keep them under your table and out of the walkway at all times."
