Alpacas · Signature experience

Alpaca Walk

Lead your own alpaca on a guided walk through our 110 acres of Leicestershire countryside. The original and the best — with an optional Afternoon Tea upgrade.

Our alpaca walks are the heart of what we do. We started with three boys and a dream, and now we share our herd with thousands of visitors every year. It's still our favourite thing in the world.

You'll be paired with your own alpaca to lead, learn his name, his quirks and his favourite snack. Then we head out together across the farm at alpaca pace, which is exactly the pace life should be.

Questions, answered

Accessibility+

This experience takes place on farm tracks which can be rough, uneven, bumpy and muddy. Unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate wheelchairs, pushchairs or mobility aids. All walks require a reasonable level of physical fitness and mobility.

What if it rains?+

We walk in almost all weather — alpacas don't mind a drizzle. Heavy storms or high winds may mean we reschedule.

Can children attend?+

Yes, children are welcome, but the following ratios apply: 0–4 years: Must be carried in a suitable carrier. 0–9 years: 1 adult required for every child. 10–15 years: 1 adult required for every 2 children.

Do they spit?+

Rarely at humans. Ours are well socialised — spitting is mostly reserved for arguments with each other at dinner time.
