  The
Butterfly Farm is a specially designed and maintained exhibition of living
exotic butterflies and moths, where visitors can enjoy direct contact with these
beautiful insects.
Within the flight area the environment is carefully
controlled and monitored to maintain perfect conditions for the butterflies to
live and breed as they would in the wild. The natural habitat has been reconstructed
in such a way as to allow visitors an insight into the fascinating way of life
of these creatures.
The Dartmoor Otter Sanctuary
has been carefully designed to provide our resident otters with the best possible
conditions and our visitors excellent opportunities to see and enjoy them. We
also have facilities for the treatment of any sick or injured otters that may
be brought to us. We have over the past 15 years treated a number of ailments,
not only to otters but also to other animals and birds. It is hoped that having
seen and enjoyed our resident otters, and been given an insight into their secret
way of life, visitors will be more aware of the plight of otters world-wide, particularly
of course our own native British Otter Lutra lutra.
