Alpaca Walking at Bishop’s Court Farm

From £30.00

Take a leisurely stroll around the farm in the company of our friendly, well-trained alpacas.

This experience begins with a meet and greet with our alpacas before learning a little about them. We have a herd of 60 alpacas – from six months to 14-years-old – so whether you’ll be accompanied by Rudy or Tyler, Enigma or Joker, a splendid time is guaranteed for all.

After being shown how to lead your alpaca, we then go for a walk with our companions, though this must be done at alpaca-pace – unless someone is tempting them with the prospect of food, they are rarely in a rush.

We will give you a bag of feed for your alpaca to keep him happy as you meander through our picturesque fields and lakes. Alpacas love attention, so they are only too happy to stop for snacks and photo opportunities along the way.

The Alpaca Walk takes about an hour and a half. It can get a little muddy, so we advise you to bring wellies or walking boots. Sometimes they like to walk into the lake so be prepared to get your feet wet.

Surprise a loved one with an unforgettable alpaca walking experience.

Children

There is no charge for children under six-years-old. Children must be at least six to lead an alpaca, and if they are under nine, an adult must hold an additional lead. The route is not suitable for prams, so small children need to walk or be carried.

Cancellation Policy

You can change or cancel your Alpaca Walk free of charge up to 48-hours before the start of the booking. Cancellations with less than 48-hours’ notice are non-refundable.

Please do not bring someone that has not booked as they will not be able to accompany you (due to our insurance policy restrictions).

If you require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact us.
