A bit about us… we’re a non-profit business supported by Gwel an Mor. Any income we receive from visitors contributes towards the upkeep of the animals we look after; most of which have been rescued or brought to us injured.
Where possible we try and release rescued animals back into their wild environment, and when we can’t, we try and find new homes for them or often provide this ourselves. We also work with various breeding programmes for British wildlife that needs a helping hand including hedgehogs, water voles, and harvest mice.
Feadon Wildlife Centre is something no other holiday resort in the country offers and gives you the chance to get a little bit wild. Come and meet our resident wildlife and learn about how amazing these animals are.
On our activities you will get the chance to do things like stroke our reindeer, take a night time walk with us and using thermal imaging we see what animals are out and about in the dark or learn the art of falconry and fly our birds of prey, plus a whole lot more…
We do a lot of conservation work at the farm, including breeding and releasing programmes of our more vulnerable wildlife including harvest mice. All of our foxes have been rescued from various unfortunate situations, plus many of our birds of prey and mammals.
