Alpaca walking experience
Alpaca walking is great for those of you wishing to try an activity of a different nature, that takes you away from the hectic hustle and bustle of urban life. Your experience will begin with a health and safety briefing along with some alpaca facts, before demonstrating how to lead your alpaca. Once you have been partnered up with your new alpaca chum, your trekking escapade will begin with plenty of time for pictures and alpaca selfies!
Important Update on Our Alpaca Walks
We’re excited to announce some changes to our alpaca walking experiences! Starting in November, our walks will now be 60 minutes long. But don’t worry if you’ve already booked a 90-minute experience—your walk time won’t be affected, as we've simply shortened the health and safety briefing.
£35 PER PERSON
0-9 years old - free, no ticket required
(*must be accompanied by 1 paying adult (18+); ratio of child to adult 1:1)
Our Alpaca Walk experience is not suitable for children aged 4 and under (and possibly for children aged up to 6) due to a walking requirement of up to 90 minutes, in sometimes rough terrain. All children aged 4 and under must be in a carrier and (or any age that staff are concerned with their ability to complete up to 90 minutes of walking) will not be permitted to attend the experience without a carrier.
WHAT IS INCLUDED
1 hour walk learning about, meeting and walking our animals (including a 15 minute health and safety talk)
Guidance and support from our experienced alpaca guides

MORE INFORMATION
Every paying ticket holder attending the experience must walk with an alpaca. This includes all ages and abilities. We cannot allow spectators on the experience.
This experience is a physical activity which involves walking up hills and over uneven terrain. You must be capable of walking at a pace that keeps up with the rest of the group without putting a strain on your health so please consider this before attending the experience.
When bringing young children, adults must feel confident that their child can walk the whole distance of this experience. If they cannot, you must bring a sling or a carrier as we cannot authorise pushchairs on our experiences and cannot allow you to carry your child as you must have both hands on the rein of the alpaca at all times (see the Accessibility section in the Terms & Conditions).
If you’re pregnant please be aware that we are a working farm with live animals. We therefore have natural bacteria and parasites which in some circumstances may be harmful to a pregnancy. If you choose to come to our farm or participate in an experience we recommend you do not touch pregnant sheep or lambs and thoroughly wash your hands after being around any of our other animals, especially before consuming food.
