The Donkey Sanctuary is located in Mallow, County Cork and has over 2,400 donkeys, rescued from all parts of the country. Many donkeys have been abandoned or put in a field and given little or no attention after having worked for their owners for years. Visiting the sanctuary will allow you to contribute to a good cause and there is a picnic area, teas and coffees and changing facilities. It is open from 9am to 4.30pm Monday to Friday and from 10am to 5pm on Saturdays, Sundays and Bank Holidays.
