Visit and fall in love
Welcome
The Donkey Sanctuary is nestled in the beautiful rolling countryside outside the tranquil village of Liscarroll in Co.Cork. Visitors are welcome to our Open Farm all year round. Home to 130 of our wonderful donkeys and mules, our Open Farm is the perfect place to visit to learn more about the work of The Donkey Sanctuary. While here, take the opportunity to explore our scenic walkways, while visiting the different groups of donkeys and mules around the sanctuary or enjoy a picnic in our secure picnic area.
Visitor Information Centre
When you arrive at the sanctuary, a stop at the Visitor Information Centre is a must. Teas, coffees, ice creams and light snacks are all available to buy here as well as our donkey-related products. Our helpful staff will be delighted to answer any questions that you may have about donkeys or the sanctuary.
