Donkey Sanctuary Loop

This loop takes you on walkways around the fields of a sanctuary which takes in abandoned or mistreated donkeys. You get a panoramic view of the surrounding countryside and Liscarroll village with its 13th century Norman castle and a chance to interact with the donkeys.

The Donkey Sanctuary is set in the beautiful rolling countryside of County Cork just outside the village of Liscarroll in Ireland. Over 5,200 donkeys from all parts of Ireland have been taken into our care here in Ireland since The Donkey Sanctuary in Ireland was set up. Knockardbane Farm is our Open Farm and it is home to 134 donkeys. This farm is open to the public 365 days a year from 9am until 5pm. There are beautiful walkways to enjoy with stunning scenery and donkeys and mules to admire. There is a Visitor Centre and picnic area on site and we are proud to welcome over 50,000 visitors per year.
