Do you want to take an alpaca for a walk? Of course you do!
Well now you can, as alpacaly ever after... are thrilled to offer private alpaca walks for you and your family and friends around the stunning grounds of the Lingholm Estate along the shores of the famous Derwent Water. Walk through private grounds closed to the general public, get to know our wonderful alpacas up close, take them for a paddle (or a swim!) in the lake, meet the herd, take part in feeding time, ask as many questions as you can think of and take as many selfies as you like! We'll record your adventure with photographs throughout the walk absolutely free of charge!
Walks last around an hour and a half and are available at flexible times to suit you, bring your wellies!
