Fernvalley Wildlife Centre

Fernvalley Wildlife Centre is the most northerly wildlife centre in the United Kingdom, located in Tingwall on Mainland Orkney, Scotland. Opened in 2017, the centre specialises in providing a safe and loving forever home to animals that have been abused, abandoned, or neglected, working in collaboration with organisations such as the SSPCA, RSPCA, and Reptilia Rescue. Visitors can encounter a fascinating range of animals including ring-tailed lemurs, meerkats, raccoon dogs, snakes, iguanas, terrapins, degus, and a variety of birds, all housed in thoughtfully designed enclosures. A welcoming tearoom serves homebaked goods and light lunches, and features a viewing window overlooking the lemur enclosure. Open year-round on selected days, Fernvalley Wildlife Centre offers a distinctive and warmly personal wildlife experience that is well worth seeking out during a visit to the Orkney Islands.
