Shaldon Wildlife Trust

The Shaldon Wildlife Trust is a small zoo set in a woodland garden located near the sea in Shaldon, Devon. It is home to some rare and endangered animals, plus they offer a range of interactive experiences.

What can you do at Shaldon Wildlife Trust?

They are set in an acre of woodland above the coastal village of Shaldon. Many of their animals are at the trust as part of a managed breeding programme. Mostly so that their species can be saved if a catastrophic event wiped them out.

Animals include primates and other mammals, reptiles, amphibians and birds. There are meerkats, cats, civets, armadillos and more. Experiences include meeting the meerkats for children and adults from the age of 8 and lemur experiences also from the age of 8. Plus junior keeper experiences for the day.
