Family activity trail this half-term at The Donkey Sanctuary in Sidmouth, Devon
More information

Welcome to the Wonderous Wildlife Trail!

Spread across the sanctuary are six nature rubbings of wildlife you’ll find at the sanctuary.

You’ll receive a map of the trail route with a trail pack before you head out to search around the heart of the sanctuary and collect all six rubbings. Learn all about how the wildlife benefits our herds of donkeys and how our conservation and ecology team encourage the wildlife to thrive.

This entertaining activity combines family fun, exercise and brainpower and is just £5 per trail, including a prize on completion.

Plus with daily talks, scenic walks, engaging exhibits, award-winning gardens and, of course, hundreds of adorable donkeys to meet, there’s so much to explore with your own herd, whatever the weather.

Take sanctuary in our Taste of the West award-winning restaurant, The Kitchen, and enjoy fresh, local, seasonal produce while soaking in the unparalleled coast and country views. Breakfasts, lunches and tempting afternoon treats are dished up daily, with every penny of profit helping donkeys and mules around the world.

Before heading home, browse our Gift Shop at leisure in the knowledge that every purchase goes towards helping donkeys in need. Packed with unique donkey-design items and souvenirs, you will find something for everyone.
