Dist:0.3km<br/>The Seal and Bird rescue trust is situated on the edge of the small village of Ridlington, close to Walcott and Bacton, and it is run entirely by volunteers. The hospital is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 4pm. The Trust helps children to gain experience by offering opportunities to interact with birds and other small animals such as lizards and snakes. The Seal and Bird Rescue Trust welcomes families with children to come and visit, but they are a working hospital with sick and injured wildlife and not a sanctuary, and therefore visits are possible only by prior arrangement.
