Great place to visit, even in early spring. Donkeys around every corner, and so very friendly! From Sidmouth, catch the 52A bus. Will drop you off at the main road in to the sanctuary. More

The Donkey Sanctuary is open from early morning to Dusk and is the most relaxing place I know. Entry is free, but donations are welcome. In the yard you can get up close and personal with the Donkeys and most days there are special events. Perhaps a trip to see the large Poitou Donkeys or a trailer ride. The grounds... More

We have been before but it is always a pleasure to spent time here. Parking is free and as well as the donkeys, there are a number of walks that are well signposted. We did the one down to the beach and had the place virtually all to ourselves. This is such a lovely place and the donkeys that end... More
