The Donkey Sanctuary

Higher Keaton, Ivybridge, Devon

Grid ref: SX 6428 5521

The Donkey Sanctuary offers a gentle counterpoint to Dartmoor's wild expanses. Set in the moorland terrain, it provides refuge for donkeys that have been neglected or abandoned, allowing visitors to encounter these patient creatures in a peaceful setting. The sanctuary's mission speaks to a quieter side of rural life on and around the moor.

Walking the sanctuary grounds, you'll find yourself surrounded by Dartmoor's characteristic landscape while observing animals cared for with genuine attention. It's a place that reveals both the beauty of these often-overlooked animals and the dedicated work required to sustain such sanctuaries in the heart of Devon's uplands.
