About
The story
On the Somerset Levels near East Huntspill, this dedicated rescue centre has spent decades caring for the region's injured and orphaned wildlife, from fox cubs to hedgehogs and badgers. A visit here is different from any zoo: the animals are guests on their way back to freedom, and the story is one of quiet dedication rather than display. Interactive exhibits and hands-on activities help visitors understand the fragile lives being saved just yards away. Come for a genuinely moving morning that turns curious children into budding naturalists — and reminds everyone why Britain's wildlife matters.
