We all know that taking care of the Environment and conserving the earths resources are vital issues for all of us now. From day one, Gwel an Mor has been seriously committed to operating in a truly sustainable way. Of course we do the basics, such as re-cycling, energy conservation and community support but we have gone a huge step further by purchasing Feadon Farm (right next door) and developing our own non-profit Wildlife Centre.

Feadon Farm is the centre-piece of our environmental policy and the place where all our guest can get right `up close’ to British Wildlife and be part of making a difference. That’s enough `eco-talk’ for now.

Let’s have some fun…
...Although Feadon Farm is open to outside groups as an educational resource our staying guests definitely have priority. You can choose from the following regular activities, there are charges for these, please check with reception when booking.

• Wildlife Experience. Gary Zammit (our very own wildlife celebrity and wildlife Ranger) knows just where to look. The adventure of a woodland safari, you should find some of our local mammals, and reptiles. Then you might meet Stinky the mink and our rescued foxes, Todd and Meadow. Or fly one of our birds of prey…… We have all sorts of other rescued animals coming in so who knows what other creatures you might meet!

• Nature Trail Safari. A visit to our secret pond, search for the creatures that lurk beneath! Frogs, Toads, Newts and Lizard’s and lots of interesting insects, your bound to find lots of other wildlife on route through our woodland walk, and then meet our famous reindeer, and there’s always other animals to meet and learn more about.

• Rock Pooling. Classic seaside pastime with a fresh approach. Rock pooling’s always fun but with Gary on hand you’ll get to see behind the scenes and find out so much more about…….Hermit Crabs, Starfish and Sea Hares and whatever else turns up on the day – you might even see a seal – and sometimes (say this in a whisper) you could catch a glimpse of a dolphin.

• Falconry. We have Harry the Harris Hawk and Sly the Barn Owl. Beautiful birds of prey. Gary will talk you through the history and equipment used and after a demonstration you’ll fly the birds (recommended for ages 8 years and upwards). Definitely bring your camera.

• Night walk. Much wildlife comes alive at night (which is another reason we never see it). A night lamp and a little know how reveals all. We look for badgers, owls, deer and foxes close by. If the wild foxes don’t show you’ll certainly meet our own rescued foxes Todd and Meadow, and all our other tame wildlife.

Sessions include quizzes and photo opportunities and certificates are available for some activities.

These sessions run at regular times throughout the week and we would do our best to accommodate any special request you might have.
