National Seal Sanctuary, Gweek The Sanctuary started in the winter of 1958 when a baby seal, only a few hours old, was washed up on the beach at St Agnes. Ken Jones took it back to his small garden. For many years he ran a rescue centre for seals and oiled birds, with just one pool, at St Agnes. The Sanctuary moved to Gweek in 1975, and Ken built up the size, and number of pools, so he could care for the increasing number of seals that were being rescued around the Cornish coast. |

Enjoy an interactive SEAQUEST Adventure embarking from Falmouth, near the New National Maritime Museum Cornwall & touring the stunning Cornish coast and creeks from The Lizard Peninsula in the South to Dodman Point in the East. Last time I looked they were having trouble with the web site. May be fixed now. |
