The Westcountry Wildlife Photography Centre is a unique facility in Devon, England, home to a splendid collection of native British species in naturally landscaped enclosures offering an unparalleled opportunity to film or photograph a broad range of wildlife subjects with relative ease. 

We offer tailor made experiences for photographers and filmmakers, working with an animal wrangler and our native British wildlife, from individuals to groups to production companies. 

We have a number of photography coaches, instructors and tutors we work with who are able to provide you with hands on instruction on creating better images.

The facility was founded by Derek Gow, author and leading expert in native species reintroductions and the rewilding movement.

We are located within the beautiful landscape of the River Tamar valley near the town of Launceston on the border of Devon and Cornwall. Natural wildlife is abundant in the region with well established populations of red and roe deer, badgers, foxes and otters. Barn owls and ravens are common together with a range of smaller bird species such as meadow pipits, goldfinches, linnets and yellowhammers. There is a broad butterfly compliment and the ancient hedge banks in spring offer delightful displays of wildflowers.

We welcoe you to stay on site at Rewilding Coombeshead in one of our gorgeous, cosy shepherd huts or in our wildflower meadow campsite. There are excellent pubs offering a good range of real ales and locally sourced food, as well as a wide variety of local accommodation, from homely farmhouse bed and breakfasts to high quality hotels.
