CORNWALL TOURISM AWARDS 2013/14 - WILDLIFE FRIENDLY BUSINESS - SILVER AWARD Feadon Farm non-profit wildlife centre is one of the most illuminating you'll find anywhere in the UK. It's an amazing place where both children and adults can get up close and personal to wildlife as diverse as reindeer and badgers. In fact, so far as we know, it is the only place in the UK where you can even hand feed foxes. Part of Gwel an Mor Luxury Resort, Feadon Farm is in a prime countryside location and just a 10 minute drive away from the A30. Meeting our rescued foxes, Todd and Meadow, is a highlight of any visit and will be a lasting memory. Cornwall is a wildlife wonderland and so it’s the perfect place to discover more about nature and the environment. The passion and enthusiasm of Gary Zammit, our wildlife celebrity and wildlife ranger, is infectious. He knows everything there is to know about wildlife activities and our local marine habitat in Cornwall. Take a guided walk through the woods and fields to discover the hidden wildlife. Meet some of our resident wildlife; foxes, Barn Owl, voles and grass snake to name just a few. Our organised wildlife activities reflect how important nature and our local environment are and, of course, they’re great fun too, whether it’s the Wildlife Experience, Nature Trail Safari, Falconry, Night Walk or Rock Pooling. A short description of each are as follows… Wildlife Experience Join our wildlife ranger for the adventure of a woodland safari, where you will meet some of the local wildlife, before meeting our rescued foxes, Todd and Meadow. You can even fly one of our birds of prey…We have all sorts of other rescued wildlife coming in all the time so who knows what other wonderful creatures you might meet! Nature Trail Safari Enjoy a visit to our secret pond and search for the creatures that live there, including frogs, toads and some quite amazing insects.

Rock Pooling Enjoy this classic seaside pastime, rock pooling is always fun but our ranger adds a new dimension.
