The National Seal Sanctury Cornwall England

The National Seal Sanctuary is home to Britain’s leading marine animal rescue centre. Set in 40 acres of beautiful country on the picturesque Helford Estuary nr Helston.

First started in the 1950’s from a beach café at St Agnes, it was relocated to Gweek in 1975 as more pups were reported injured and needing our help.

With the rescue work as our first priority the sanctuary can help as many as 30 pups every winter, with emergency calls coming in day or night.

The Sanctuary is now home to many grey seals that couldn’t be released, as well as common seals, sea lions, goats, ponies and more recently short clawed Asian otters.
