Our amazing alpacas love to go exploring and now you can join them! This is the perfect activity for any animal lover to have a special bonding experience or for those who want to try something different.

  • On arrival to the farm park you will be directed to our Alpaca Trekking meeting point, where our Lead Alpaca Trekker will welcome you to the herd with an introduction and safety talk.
  • Once you have been introduced to your Alpaca, you will then head off out onto the trail through the woods with your new friend.
  • Take in the scenery and surroundings as you enjoy your walk through the woods and then stop for photos and a little nibble for your chosen alpaca.
  • On the way back to the Farm Park hear interesting facts about alpacas as well as a few cheeky stories about our own herd!
This experience will last approximately 90minutes, however each ticket includes entry to our Fantastic Farm Park which means you can stay all day to enjoy a wide range of animal and playtime fun! We also have our cosy Garden Room Café on site and other catering outlets, offering delicious hearty fare and refreshments.
