How to find us
Screech Owl Sanctuary & Animal Park is located near Indian Queens in mid Cornwall, just off the A30
If travelling by public transport you can catch a bus to Indian Queens Industrial Estate or the village which is a mile away. The railway station branchline from Newquay to Par is situated just over 2 miles away.
Please be aware if you are using a satnav that even the newest maps have not been updated since the A30 dual carriageway, and will take you to a dead end road, so follow the brown and white signs at the Newquay junction off the A30 not the Victoria junction.
