Monkey Sanctuary, Primate sanctuary in Looe, England
The Monkey Sanctuary spans across gardens with views of the Cornish coast, providing natural habitats for rescued woolly monkeys, capuchins, and Barbary macaques.
Leonard Williams established the Monkey Sanctuary in 1964 as a cooperative venture dedicated to the protection and care of woolly monkeys from South America.
The sanctuary educates 30,000 annual visitors about primate welfare, conservation efforts, and the consequences of keeping monkeys as domestic pets.
The sanctuary contains Murrayton House with a gift shop, tea room, wildlife gardens, children's play area, and parking facilities for convenient access.
The sanctuary maintains accreditation from the Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries as the first European facility to achieve this recognition.
