Such a peaceful afternoon

We loved walking around the paddocks and meeting the donkeys up close. It felt calm and welcoming, and the children really enjoyed learning about how the animals are cared for. A lovely free day out in Leeds.

Heart-warming and educational

It’s wonderful to see the work they do here. The horses look so well cared for and you can really feel the passion behind the sanctuary. We stayed longer than planned just enjoying the peaceful setting.

My daughter was so excited to see the ponies and hear their stories. It’s a gentle, meaningful outing and a great way to teach children about kindness to animals.

Great budget-friendly day out

Free entry, easy parking and plenty to see — we were really impressed. It’s not a big commercial attraction, but that’s what makes it special. A genuine sanctuary with a lovely atmosphere.

A hidden gem in Leeds

Such a peaceful place just outside the city. We grabbed a coffee from the visitor centre and enjoyed a slow wander around. It’s a feel-good way to spend a few hours outdoors.
