Cornish Seal Sanctuary, Veterinary hospital and zoo in Gweek, Cornwall, England.
The medical facility and animal sanctuary spans across five pools on the banks of the Helford River, specializing in seal rehabilitation and care.
Founded in 1958 by Ken Jones after finding an injured seal pup at St Agnes, the sanctuary relocated to Gweek in 1975 due to expansion needs.
The center connects visitors with marine wildlife through educational programs and direct observation of seal rehabilitation processes throughout the year.
Visitors need to book tickets at least two days before arrival, with each ticket providing unlimited access to the sanctuary for twelve months.
The sanctuary maintains a database of rescued seals through flipper and hat tags, tracking their progress after release into natural habitats.
