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!

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 incredibly soft and strong. I am a spinner, weaver and felter, specialising in alpaca (no surprises there) and you are welcome to look around my studio to see how I work with our fleeces using traditional techniques.

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.

Our alpacas only go out walking once a day as we want the walk to be as fun for them as it is for you. We can take out from 4 to 12 alpacas per walk but if you would prefer to have a walk to yourself please let me know and we will try and accommodate you. Our walks are £15 per person, children are welcome but please talk to me before booking to discuss if the walk will be appropriate for your child. 

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! Alpacas tend to sulk in the rain - much as I do.... For this reason and other dull husbandry needs, our walking season runs from April to September.
