Alpaca WalkINg
A unique opportunity to meet our walking boys up close before heading out on a beautiful walk with your own alpaca through our newly planted woodland with stunning views across the countryside. Followed by a lovely cup of tea at The Hideout looking out across the meadow.
Our boys love getting out of their paddock to meet new people, explore the land and find all the best forage. It's great for us too! The benefits of spending time in nature are well known and combining that with a walk and getting to know and spend time with your own alpaca is a real boost for our wellbeing.
What To Expect
On arrival we'll introduce you to our herd (each with their own unique personality!) and share some information about alpacas and how we take care of them.
We'll also share some health and safety guidance and tips on handling and leading respectfully.
We will then match you to the most suitable alpaca for you and after a brief introduction to your alpaca in terms of name, personality and particular quirks, we'll be off!
We'll take them on a walk around our 28 acres of land exploring tracks that meander through our newly planted woodlands and around the open wetlands and meadows.
There will be plenty of time for stroking and photos along the way!
We'll then return the boys home and head to The Hideout, our rustic outdoor living room for a lovely cup of tea (or hot drink of your choice)!

WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Emma Hayward
We visited the farm for a festive alpaca walk. We were greeted with a warm welcome and introduced to the alpacas. We walked the friendly boys down to a lovely area and roasted marshmallows around a campfire and enjoyed hot chocolate. The alpacas also had a feed before we walked them back up to their field. Great for families and animal lovers, we will definitely be returning soon. Thank you for a lovely festive afternoon
Lisa Bedding
We had a lovely time at the farm this morning walking and feeding the alpacas! We learned so much and really enjoyed the experience which was relaxed and in lovely surroundings. To be able to see the cria at just a few days old doing zoomies around the field was priceless.

A fabulous afternoon Alpaca Trekking at Hideaway Wood Farm on Saturday. Friendly informative guidance on individual alpacas characters ensured a relaxed, fun, safe & joyous time was spent in the company of these amazing animals.Looking forward to my next visit & adopting one. Highly recommend!
