Step back in time at Wild Ireland, a wildlife sanctuary where you can experience Ireland's ancient past. Located on the Inishowen Peninsula in County Donegal, near Burnfoot, this park is home to animals that once roamed the Irish countryside. The sanctuary is set within a pocket of remaining woodland on the Inishowen peninsula, where time has been rolled back to an era when ferocious beasts ruled the Irish countryside.Wild Ireland provides a home to animals that have been rescued from circuses, roadside zoos, and the illegal pet trade. These animals include brown bears, European wolves, lynx, and wild boar. The park aims to recreate the natural habitats of these animals, allowing them to live as they would in the wild. Visitors can walk among the ancient trees and encounter these animals, learning about their history and the threats they face.Conservation and education are at the heart of Wild Ireland. The park informs visitors about the plight of animals in the wild and the negative impacts of human activity. By visiting Wild Ireland, guests support rescue and conservation efforts both in Ireland and around the world. In addition to the animals, Wild Ireland features a fairy trail, a play park, and a café.
