Overview
A 2 ½ hour visit, including our Alpaca Orchard Walk (Approx 1 hour), time with the rest of the herd and crias, followed by drinks and cakes.
Alpaca Autumn Half Term Walks - 24th to 31st October include some extra fun! Alpacas and Pumpkins photos; delicious cakes & an extra treat for everyone! All treats, no tricks this Autumn Half Term!
We are dedicated to keeping the friendliest alpaca herd around and this really shows in how much the alpacas love their fun and varied walks and time spent with people!
- We welcome you to Little Orchard Alpacas and spend some time meeting the alpaca boys before you choose your walking companion.
- We head off on a one hour walk through the field and old apple orchard, spotting wildlife and enjoying the peaceful surroundings.
- In apple season the alpacas love to be fed apples, the rest of the time we have plenty of leaves and treats for alpaca snacks!
- The walk route is gentle and suitable for most fitness levels.
- Afterwards there will be time to spend with the rest of the herd, meet our crias (babies) and watch them play.
- The time on the farm varies with the season, in the summer there are plenty of shady spots with tree cover; the alpacas spend lots of time eating leaves and apples! In the Spring, the walk route comes alive with bluebells. In Autumn the alpacas love finding blackberries and the colours of the orchard make for stunning photos (and we love a pumpkin photo); in December, wrap up warm and we will get all festive with the alpacas!
- Whatever the season, the experience is all about having some relaxed fun and enjoying the alpacas’ company in a beautiful orchard setting.
- Whilst in the alpaca paddocks you will have the opportunity to get up close with the alpacas, take photos surrounded by the alpacas and feed them their favourite treats!
- A visit would also not be complete without saying hello to Peggy and Wilbur, our resident pot-bellied pigs, and giving our farm dog Tilly some fuss!
Drinks & Cake
- After all the alpaca fun, it is time to relax with refreshing drinks and cake. We have a lovely drinks menu to choose from and homemade cake.
- Sit in our Alpaca Paddock Picnic Area, with tables and parasols or our lovely cosy undercover tea barn area.
- Before heading off, browse in our Alpaca Room Shop for a souvenir or alpaca craft project to take home with you.
This is more than just an Alpaca Walk - this is a memorable and personal experience, we want you to feel at home, to really get to know our alpacas and to feel the joy of a special experience to remember. A warm welcome awaits you and we hope you will leave feeling relaxed, happy and with lots of alpaca memories to take away!
