snowdonia alpacas
We are based in the stunning Snowdonia National Park, surrounded by mountains and woodland and wide open spaces, where the only noises are those of the natural world.
We now offer the unique opportunity to stay on the farm in one of our boutique shepherds huts.
Our alpacas
We are passionate about our animals here, our alpacas are amazing animals, inquisitive, shy, both timid and bold, lively but calm, they all have individual personalities and temperaments – everyone is different. Add to that their luxurious fleece, and big brown eyes, it’s hard not to fall in love, they are truly fascinating to be with!
our walks
Our walks consist of an introductory talk, where we will introduce you to the alpacas, show you how to halter and handle them kindly and safely, then while you and your alpaca are getting acquainted we will tell you about them. Once everyone has made friends we will start a leisurely walk around our farm, where your guide will continue to expand on alpaca facts, and meet our friendly farm animals. We will tell you all about our pedigree and rare breed sheep, cattle, pigs and you can learn how we farm here, with our fundamental goals based on the sustainability of the environment and the ethical treatment of both our animals and the wildlife on the farm.
your experience
You should expect your time with us to last around 2 hours, with the walk taking around 40 minutes. There are some hills involved – but we won’t be going very fast, as we walk at the alpacas pace, and will stop for photo moments!
We are also offering alpaca meet and greet experiences. These are ideal for larger groups, or groups of people who don’t want to walk around the farm with the alpacas – be it because of the weather, small children or those who find walking difficult.
The meet and greet experience lasts around 1 ½ hours, and will involve you meeting the alpacas up close, hand feeding the girls, and learning all about these amazing animals. There are plenty of opportunities for pictures, and getting to know my beautiful girls, along with their super cute babies!
