Arrival:
Visitors must arrive no earlier than 15 minutes before the trek. For safety reasons, please do not arrive before this, as farm machinery will be operating and access to our farmyard for parking will not be available.
It is important that trekking groups keep together. If you arrive late, you will miss the trek.
Your day out:
This is a 90 minute experience. 1 adult per alpaca
Children aged 3-10 years must share an alpaca with an adult. Please note ratio 1 adult with each child (not including babies in backpacks).
Walking Ability:
You must be able to walk between 1-2 miles on uphill and uneven terrain. The walk is not difficult and we take a leisurely pace. If you have any uncertainties about your walking ability, we advise that you contact us before booking. Please note that we do not allow wheelchairs or pushchairs on our treks.
Our Farm
We run our alpaca trekking business alongside a working farm. There will be areas visitors will not be able to enter and we ask you to respect that as we don’t want any of our customers or animals put in danger. Don’t worry, there will be opportunities for you to see the farm animals throughout the tour!
Parking
Due to us being a working farm, we may need to operate farm machinery while walks are taking place. It is important you abide by our parking signage on arrival.
Please note that for safety and security reasons, we can not allow members of the public to stay on site, unless they are participating in a trek.
Dogs
We do not allow dogs on site. Alpacas do not like even the friendliest dogs, so please do not bring any four legged friends to our farm at all.
Children
Alpacas do like well behaved and well supervised children so please do bring them along. Please note that the terrain is not suitable for buggies. Spectators are not permitted. We aim to provide a SAFE and enjoyable experience for all.
When purchasing your tickets, please note the required ratio – 1 adult to 1 child for all children aged 3-10 years:
Adult Ticket: £25
Adults over the age of 16 years
Child Ticket: £20
Children between 10-15 years must be able to walk their own alpaca. These children must be supervised by an adult who must purchase an adult ticket for themselves.
Parent and Child Ticket: £30
Children between 3-10 years must attend with an adult at a 1:1 ratio. The adult will be given the alpaca to handle and it is up this adult to decide during the walk if the child is able to share leading their alpaca under close supervision.
Group Bookings
If you would like a private group booking, please get in touch so that we can tailor for your requirements and price accordingly.

As this is a working farm, things can get a bit muddy, especially if the weather has been poor. Please dress accordingly. The majority of our walking is off road so please wear suitable footwear. Please do not bring umbrellas.
Weather:
The weather in this area can be very unpredictable, often contrary to weather forecasts. We can not control the weather and we do our very best to continue walking if we deem possible and safe for our customers and alpacas.
