Buttercups Sanctuary for Goats, nestled in the serene countryside of Kent, offers a haven for rescued and mistreated goats. Established with a mission to provide care and protection, the sanctuary is home to a variety of goats, each with their own story and personality. Visitors to the sanctuary can enjoy the peaceful environment while learning about the goats and the importance of animal welfare. The sanctuary operates on a foundation of compassion and education, aiming to raise awareness about goats’ needs and how to care for them properly. With its open fields and friendly inhabitants, Buttercups is not just a refuge for goats but also a delightful retreat for animal lovers and families looking for a meaningful encounter with nature. Engaging activities, guided tours, and the chance to sponsor or adopt a goat make the visit a unique and heartwarming experience, highlighting the beauty of kindness and the joy of animal companionship. General admission is free, but we do ask for donations to enter (this can be done by cash, card, Apple Pay or Google Pay). Suggested donation of £5 per person – no booking required!

Directions & Travel Info:
From the B2163, pass Marlpit Farm on your left and go straight at the crossroad. The sanctuary’s drive is a sharp right after a few hundred yards. Follow the tree-lined driveway, watch for speed humps, and turn left through double gates into the carpark. Public transport is limited; the nearest bus stop is around a mile away at Marlpit Farm (Bus routes 59, 66, 89). Walking from the stop involves country roads or footpaths from Chart Sutton or Linton. Alternatively, take a train to Maidstone East/West or Staplehurst Station, then a 10/15-minute taxi ride to Buttercups.
