Attraction Information
Things to do
Ferne Animal Sanctuary is an almost unique working animal sanctuary, founded in 1939, at the breakout of WW2, where care was given to pets whose owners were going to war, or otherwise displaced by the conflict.
Why not learn more about animal welfare whilst seeing the animals enjoying their own habitat, or simply gaze across the hills and enjoy the fantastic Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty that is the Blackdown Hills?
