A tropical landscaped garden with waterfalls, ponds and bridges housing exotic butterflies and moths from around the world flying free.
The Otter Sanctuary:
Large landscaped enclosures with elevated viewing platform and underwater viewing tunnel. Feeding times and displays at 1130, 1400 and 1630. Three species of otter can be seen, including our own native British otter. Educational facilities, vintage bus service to Buckfast Abbey, joint tickets offered at a discount in conjunction with the South Devon Railway.
Butterflies: The Butterfly House is a specially designed and maintained exhibition of living exotic butterflies and moths, where visitors can enjoy direct contact with some of the most beautiful members of the insect order Lepidoptera from around the world and find out lots of information on butterflies.
Within the flight area the environment is carefully controlled and monitored to maintain perfect conditions for the live butterflies to live and breed as they would in the wild. A high temperature and humidity is maintained not only to support the beautiful butterflies, but also sustain the exotic plants and flowers needed to enable the butterflies and larvae to feed. Thus, the natural habitat of the butterfly has been reconstructed at our butterfly farm in such a way as to allow visitors an insight into the fascinating way of life of these creatures.
