about 25 Miles
Monkey World is not only a local attraction but the work they carry out is amazing.  Rescuing and rehabilitating monkeys and assisting governments around the world to stop the smuggling of primates are just some of the purposes of the centre.

Open year round we think this is one of best attractions in Dorset and you even get the chance to adopt a monkey if you choose.
