Thank you for this joyous footage of one of your otters playing on the riverbank on Earth Day. Too lovely not to share!

Otters have recently expanded their territory at Broughton sanctuary and are being seen more frequently in new areas.
For the best chance of spotting one, guests can head to the beck at dusk or dawn and look for tell-tale webbed toe prints or muddy slides down banks to the water.

Our writer Olivia Snaije reviewed a writing retreat with tutor and told us: ‘Award-winning poet, writer, polyglot and global nomad, Mary-Jane Holmes, had just the right balance of professional know-how, kindness, encouragement, yet demanding rigour, to guide us through the variety of projects we were working on.’

You can read Olivia’s full review over on our website where you can book now for Book now for Pilates, Walking and A Taste of Andalucia, 2-8 May 2026.
