Borth Wild Animal Kingdom, Animal sanctuary in Borth, United Kingdom
The 12-acre animal sanctuary houses domestic and farm animals, including pigs, goats, chickens, ducks, rabbits, and guinea pigs for educational experiences.
The facility opened in the late 1980s by Ron and Ann Crowther at Ynys Fergi, starting as a hobby before expanding into a breeding center with Chester Zoo.
The sanctuary gained national attention through a BBC television series titled 'Saving Britain's Worst Zoo,' which aired in summer 2019.
The sanctuary operates daily from 10 AM to 4 PM during winter months and 10 AM to 6 PM in summer, offering animal handling sessions at 11:30 AM and 2:30 PM.
A notable incident in 2017 involved an escaped lynx that remained at large for a week, resulting in reported sheep casualties and eventual euthanization.
