Firstly you are introduced to the alpacas and learn about how to behave around them, as they can be quite shy at first. When everyone is happy, (human & alpaca!) we round up the boys who are trained for walks and you choose and catch your alpaca – always an interesting moment! Once the head collars are on we set off for our walk.
Alpaca Amble
Alpaca Amble
Alpaca walking is more of an amble than a forced march as they like to browse for snacks along the way and sometimes have a good scratch in the hedges. Sturdy shoes and long trousers are best as some of the more adventurous alpacas do like to venture off the path in search of interesting morsels!
Tea Time
Tea Time
At the end of the walk the alpacas and any cria (alpaca babies) will be delighted to join you for refreshments; tea & biscuits for us, carrots for them! Alpaca fibre is fantastic and you are welcome to look around my studio to see how I work with our fleeces using traditional spinning, weaving and felting techniques.
Booking
Booking
Please email or call to make a booking. We meet at 10.30am, please allow 2 - 2 1/2 hours for your visit, depending on alpaca snack stops along the way! We are happy to do walks during the week or at the weekend, but weekends do get booked up, so please get in touch if you have a particular date in mind. Walks do need to be pre-booked as we are a working farm.

We charge £60 for a group of up to 6 people. I’m afraid the price is the same for 2 as it is for 6 - sometimes I have people who want to join a walk and I can combine groups, so please call if this is something that interests you.
The Great British Weather
The Great British Weather
Walking a soggy alpaca is a bit like walking a wet sponge, so if the weather is really bad it might be kind to all to re-arrange! However we are of course intrepid and are always happy to go out. Also, we only walk our alpacas once a day as we want to make it as fun for them as it is for you.
New for 2018
