Monkey Sanctuary. The sanctuary is home to woolly monkeys that are descended from the original pets escued in the 1960s by Len Williams, father of classical guitarist John Williams. There is also a colony of rare lesser horseshoe bats living in the cellar of Murrayton House, a 19th-century building that is the visitors' centre and accommodation for staff and volunteers. The bats can be observed from the "bat cave", a room that shows CCTV footage from an infrared camera installed in the cellar.
