Two ways to spend time with Bert, Ernie and Oscar — a guided one-hour walk through field and forest, or a relaxed meet-and-feed in the paddock.
The route
The walk takes about an hour at a gentle pace. Here's where you'll go.
You'll meet your alpaca on the open field — green grass, big skies, room to breathe. It's the first few quiet minutes that let them get used to you and you to them.
From the field we head into the woodland. The light changes, the path softens underfoot, and your alpaca walks calmly by your side. There's usually a moment everyone goes quiet — it's that kind of place.
We finish along the pine-edge — a relaxed return back to the farm. There's time for last photos, last hellos, and to swap muddy boots for coffee and ice cream.
Two ways to meet our alpacas
Both visits include time with our alpacas, photos, and coffee and ice cream after.
Meet your chosen alpaca, walk together across the field, into the woodland, and back along the forest edge. Coffee and ice cream waiting on your return.
Group size and accessibility details confirmed at booking.
Spend unhurried time with our alpacas in the paddock — meet them, feed them, take photographs. A gentler option for very young children or shorter visits.

Choose your alpaca
Each has their own pace and personality. You can pick when you book, or let us suggest one if you're not sure.
Bert is our steady white alpaca, unbothered by big crowds and small visitors. If you've never met an alpaca before, he's a gentle place to start.

Ernie's deep chocolate coat and curious eyes make him the photographer's favourite. He likes to take the walk at his own thoughtful pace.

Oscar is the warm, social one with a famous fringe. He tends to be the first to come over and the last to want to head back in.

Before you arrive
Nothing scary — just the little habits that make the visit easier for everyone, alpacas included.
Walk beside your alpaca, not in front.
Alpacas prefer it that way — they like to see where you're going and to follow your shoulder, not lead from behind.
They don't graze during the walk.
We feed our alpacas before and after, so they walk happily without stopping for the grass. You don't need to tug — they know the routine.
Keep the lead gentle and loose.
Your guide will show you how on the day. A soft hand is all it takes.
Children walk between an adult and the alpaca.
It's the easiest pattern for everyone — the adult holds the lead, the child walks alongside.
Sturdy shoes recommended.
The field and forest can be soft after rain. Wellies in winter, walking shoes the rest of the year.
We serve coffee and ice cream after each visit. If anyone in your group has a food allergy, intolerance or dietary requirement, please let us know before you arrive so we can prepare accordingly.
If you need to change or cancel your visit, please get in touch as early as possible. Specific deposit, refund and rescheduling terms are listed in our cancellation policy.
