Alpaca Orchard Walk

  • Location Axminster
  • Price from £28.50

Highlights

Festive Alpaca Walks - During December all our Alpaca Walks and Experiences become extra Christmassy, with the alpacas wearing their festive halters (on the walks), enjoy deliciously chocolatey Yule Log Cakes and hot drinks for after the walk and of course we have our Christmas Alpaca Shop for you to browse!!

This small and personal group experience lasts up to two and a half hours and includes over an hour of alpaca walking time, plus time up close with the whole herd, followed by homemade cake, drinks and a browse in our Alpaca Room Gift Shop. 

The Walk:
  • After a welcome to the farm, an introduction to our walking boys and some alpaca walking tips, you will team up with your own individual alpaca and we will take a wander around our orchard trail. 
  • The alpacas enjoy their walks and will sometimes roll in the long grass and always munch on leaves along the trail! This is the perfect chance to slow down, enjoy some time outdoors and the natural company of these wonderful animals. 
  • We will chat about all things ‘alpaca’ as we go and you will learn all about our herd, how we care for them and all about camelids in general.



Meet the herd:
  • We will then introduce you to our different groups of alpacas, including the girls and any young alpacas, all with their different personalities and stories. 
  • 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!



Relax:
After the walk and tour we invite you to enjoy a hot or cold drink and a homemade cake (included in the price) alongside the alpaca paddock if the weather is nice, we also have inside and undercover seating. You are also welcome to wander back around the paddocks during this time, for some final photos and to say goodbye to your walking companion! 

Shop:
At the end of the experience we will open up our Alpaca Room Gift Shop, which is packed full of alpaca goodies, yarn & gifts to browse. 
A chance to take away a little souvenir from your visit to us at Little Orchard Alpacas.

  • Weather Policy: If the weather is unsuitable (very heavy rain, windy or high temperatures) we will get in touch the day before your walk to let you know and either postpone or offer a refund. Whilst we only cancel in very bad weather, we are usually happy to offer a postponement if it is not pleasant and it would make the experience more enjoyable for everyone!
