Redwings Aylsham

Situated in idyllic Norfolk countryside, Redwings Aylsham is home to over 70 residents including real-life Black Beauty Maya, donkey duo Wiggins and Wacko, and Redwings’ notorious herd of Shetlands - 'The Gangsters'. With free entry and parking, this award winning centre is the perfect way to spend the day.

Please note: The main paddocks and nature walks at Redwings Aylsham are temporarily closed while we undertake some work to the trackways to make them more accessible. The cafe and gift shop, as well as the paddocks along the driveway and stables, will remain open. We're so sorry to cause any inconvenience and thank you for your understanding.

Adoption Stars Pickle, and Wiggins and Wacko, have also made a trip to our Horse Hospital for some veterinary treatment. We look forward to welcoming them back to Redwings Aylsham soon.
