Otter trust opens specialist rehabilitation centre

An otter charity in north Devon says it now has the largest specialist rehabilitation centre in the world, after it was evicted from its previous site in September 2025.

It was a race against time for the UK Wild Otter Trust, which had just six months to pack up and rebuild a brand new centre.

Sixteen otter cubs currently reside at the new four acre site near South Molton, although it has capacity to care for 60 cubs.

The group, which has been running since 2006 said it had helped more than 400 cubs in the past 10 years.
