The National Seal Sancturary is based in Gweek, a beautiful spot on the edge of the Helford Estuary. As well as convalescing rescued seals there is a permanent population of injured seals and sea lions (together with some otters and other animals).

Underground viewing windows allow you to see the animals in their natural environment, and see how fast and gracefully they can move when not on land.

Check the National Seal Sanctuary's website for opening times etc.
