Bishop’s Court Farm is located within easy reach of Reading, Oxford and Didcot and set on a 300-acre site in the historic village of Dorchester-on-Thames in the heart of the idyllic Oxfordshire countryside.

We are a family-friendly and sustainable home to 60 alpacas alongside a host of horses, goats, pigs and sheep.

Spend some quality time with our lovely animals or drop into the Snug café to sample our superb locally sourced food and drinks.

Alpaca Walking

Take a stroll around the beautiful 300-acre Bishop’s Court Farm in the convivial company of our charming alpacas. These friendly creatures love attention almost as much as they love their food, so they’re always more than happy to stop for snacks and selfies.
