Alpaca trekking in Dartmoor National Park, Devon

Award winning alpaca farm in Dartmoor National Park

Up close and personal

Interactive Alpaca Experiences

If you are coming to Devon then you have to try one of my awarding winning, up close and hands on alpaca experiences to make memories of a lifetime. You will want to take them all home, I promise!

My alpaca boys are truly unique and all have very distinctive personalities - no two alpacas are the same so you are guaranteed to find a kindred spirit you will fall in love with (and don't forget Snowball sheep who will melt your heart). If you are looking to get really close and have some very special moments with these majestic creatures then you are in luck. Most of my boys are closely related and all share the same wonderful, affectionate and friendly temperament which allows us to get quite literally hands on with them - well who doesn't want to touch those gorgeous fluffy coats?

I run a small alpaca farm on the western edge of Dartmoor National Park and if you are looking for a down to earth. personal and very non commercial experience then I am the place for you. Run solely by myself (I am either a genius or crazy) I will show you how to interact with my boys so that you can create your own special bonds with them.
