Explore the sanctuary's serene grounds, meet the resident donkeys, and learn about their incredible rescue stories. The Donkey Sanctuary was founded in 1969 by Elisabeth Svendsen. It was registered as a charity in 1973. Svendsen was prompted to start the sanctuary following a visit to Exeter Market when she saw seven small donkeys crammed into a small pen.

It's a perfect blend of nature, compassion, and coastal serenity that promises a day of relaxation and animal-friendly adventures for visitors of all ages.
