WHO WE ARE

The Swan Rescue Sanctuary was founded by Ken Merriman and Judy Bairstow in 1994, having spent several years converting 18 acres of farm land into the haven for swans that it is today.

The main aim of the sanctuary is to treat and release swans as soon as possible back to the wild, but sometimes swans need long term care.

We have recovery ponds,treatment ponds, orphan cygnet ponds,therapy ponds,family group enclosures,flight practice ponds,retirement ponds for the old and weak swans and the lakes for the main flock,plus all the wild swans that come and go all the year around,especially in winter the number can swell to 500+ swans, also all the other waterfowl that need a safe environment.
