The most    intriguing animals on the farm.

Meet our friendly herd of alpacas, each with their own unique personality and charming quirks! During this enjoyable one-hour experience, you'll be introduced to all of our alpacas, including Miracle, our adorable cria (baby alpaca) born this spring.

You'll have the opportunity to help prepare their feed before hand-feeding the alpacas and getting to know them up close. As you make your way around the farm, you'll also pass the paddocks of many of our other animals, giving you the chance to see even more of our residents.

Please note that, for safety reasons, this experience is suitable for guests aged 8 years and over. Children under the age of 8 are unfortunately unable to take part. However, some of our other experiences may be more suitable-Click here to see our other experiences

4 alpacas, alpaca walking  Kent

Can children walk their own alpaca?

Children aged 8 years and over are welcome to take part in the experience. However, for the safety of both our alpacas and our visitors, children under the age of 13 must share an alpaca with a paying adult throughout the walk.

Please be aware that our walking route includes uneven ground, hills, and can become slippery in wet weather. We recommend wearing sturdy, closed-toe footwear suitable for walking outdoors to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.

How long is the walk and how far do we go?

The walk lasts around 30 minutes and follows the perimeter of our 26-acre farm. Our alpacas are naturally curious, so they often pause when they notice other animals along the route. These stops are part of the experience, giving you a chance to watch their behaviour up close while enjoying the scenery and relaxed pace of the farm.

 Can I (or my child) choose which alpaca we walk?

Each of our alpacas has its own distinct personality, and some are naturally more relaxed than others. Our alpaca guides will carefully match you with the most suitable alpaca to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for both you and the animal. Whether your alpaca is calm and steady or a little more spirited, you’ll still have a fun and memorable time getting to know these wonderful animals.

Who is the visit    Suitable for?

This experience is suitable for children aged 8 and over. However, children under 13 must be accompanied by an adult when walking an alpaca.

Alpacas are naturally shy and can be easily startled by loud noises or overly energetic behaviour, so we ask that children remain calm and respectful around them. For the wellbeing of the animals, we reserve the right to pause or end the experience if a child becomes too excited and causes distress to the alpacas.
