Walking with llamas

You can now take a llama for a relaxing walk in private grounds set in the beautiful Ashdown Forest. Llamas are naturally intelligent and inquisitive and love to go for walk. The llamas wear colourful halters and you lead the llama at a leisurely pace.

For exclusive groups of 6 or more we can tailor make a package to your specific requirements and time schedule; please contact us for details.

A 'Llama Walk' voucher makes an unusual gift for birthdays, anniversaries, Christmas, retirements etc. Vouchers are valid for 12 months from the date of issue.

What does it cost?
Prices for 2008 (includes admission to Park)

1 person walking a llama £30
2 people sharing a llama £50

These walks are intended as a relaxing, peaceful experience and are not suitable for children under 14 years old.

What does it involve?
- We open at 10.00am and we suggest you arrive in time to have a look around the Park and the Gift shop and enjoy a cup of coffee or tea before we set off at 11.00am.
- Join the rest of your group (maximum numbers 10), meet your Guide, have a brief talk on the history of these fascinating animals, and be introduced to 'your' llama.
- You will lead your llama on a leisurely walk lasting an hour or so, taking in the splendid views and learning a little about the local area and wildlife.
- At the end of your walk you will receive a special llama keyring to commemorate a day out we're sure you won't forget!
- After your walk you may like to have lunch in our licenced Coffee Shop. You can pre order your lunch before you set off so that it is ready for you when you return. Vegetarian options are available.

You should be capable of walking for an hour at a steady pace but on uneven terrain. There is a hill to negotiate on the way back. Walking shoes or stout trainers are recommended in Summer, waterproof boots with a good grip and a warm jacket in Winter.
