In today’s episode of The World Vegan Travel Podcast, we’re heading to the lush valleys of Cornwall, England, to meet Kate Hinze, founder of Haye Cornwall. Kate runs a small animal sanctuary and retreat where rescued ponies, donkeys, chickens, and pigs share their home with guests staying in a cozy holiday cottage or joining transformative wellness retreats.
We’ll talk about the unique way Haye Cornwall blends compassionate animal care, land regeneration, and visitor experiences, and how holidays here not only support the animals but also offer people the chance to slow down, reconnect with nature, and explore Cornwall’s gentler landscapes. Kate will share what guests can expect when they visit — from hands-on time with the animals to nearby treasures like Golitha Falls, Whitsand Bay, and historic sites such as Tintagel Castle.
Whether you’re curious about sustainable sanctuary life, looking for a holiday that makes a difference, or dreaming of a peaceful escape surrounded by animals and nature, you’ll love hearing Kate’s story and the ethos behind Haye Cornwall.
