A warm welcome to the farm
Charnwood Forest Alpacas is nestled in Boundary, a hamlet on the Leicestershire and Derbyshire border just outside Ashby-de-la-Zouch. One of the first, original and largest alpaca farms open to the public in the UK, we love sharing the wonderful personalities of every animal who calls our 110 acres home.

The Chilli Bean
Tuck in at our quirky farm cafe
Set in the old dairy barn, the Chilli Bean is the perfect spot to relax after meeting the animals — farm breakfasts, homemade sandwiches and cakes, grazing boards and freshly ground coffee.

Kind words from the herd
Absolutely magical morning. The alpacas have such characters and the team made us feel right at home.

Did the afternoon tea & walk for our anniversary. Faultless from start to finish — book it.

Cria watch was unforgettable. The kids haven't stopped talking about Bueno the baby alpaca.
