several well built large 'cages' (can't get the right word here but they are simply enourmous) which houses several types of rescued monkeys most with a story or history before being rescued. lovely setting if a bit out of the way. bit pricey for what you see but if you are local enough or go that way on a regular...

Took the family to Looe for a short brake and came here for the day, excellent place to visit! the Monkeys had plently of room and seemed well looked after, Beautiful weather also helped the day. Nice to see animals so well looked after and the public well informed.
