Tamar Otter Sanctuary

The Tamar Otter Sanctuary near Launceston just off the B3254 is a lovely place to enjoy watching otters and other animals or birds. The sanctuary is involved in breeding and rehabilitating otters back into the wild and visitors can come and get involved at feeding time. There are also nature trails where you can walk amongst and feed the Deer, Owls, Peacocks and Chickens in the tree covered hills of the Cornwall / Devon border. There is picnic area, a gift shop and the overall setting is idyllic and a world away from some of the more commercial attractions in Cornwall.

The staff are friendly and welcoming and they obviously love their animals. This is a day out you will not forget.

Contact details are as folows.
