The seal pupping season runs from November through to January at Donna Nook Nature Reserve and is open to the public. Viewing is best done during the week as weekends can be very busy. The Paddock is just 30 minutes away from this stunning spectacle of nature. We were amazed at just how close you could get to the seals and their pups and that it was completely free! We would heartily recommend it.
