Come and meet our Alpaca family and friends!
We want everyone to be able to access and enjoy the countryside that we are lucky enough to call home. The chance to experience the positive effects of nature and being with a wide variety of farm animals is something we are proud to provide here at Wood End Farm.
Our alpaca boys (17 in total) are fascinating animals, full of personality! We would like to give you the opportunity to come and meet, handle and learn about alpacas in a safe, comfortable space, located in the Forest of Bowland.
We also have two very special sheep, Polly & Princess, who enjoy walking, petting… and they do love a selfie!
We would love to introduce you to our two kunekune pigs and Tommy our shetland pony, who are all super friendly and can’t wait to meet you.
Our unique experiences are available to everyone as well. We have an all-terrain tramper mobility scooter, available free of charge.
This must be booked in advance, adding your request during the booking process.
Be assured we give health and safety the highest priority here at Wood End, so invite the whole family, especially little ones!
Sorry dogs are not allowed. Unfortunately, as much as we love dogs, alpacas do not. We want to make sure they are having as much fun as you!
Why not make your experience even better by treating yourselves to something from our ‘Lite Bites Menu’ or enjoy one of our home made Cream Teas. You won’t regret it!

Not sure when you’d like to visit, or you’re thinking of gifting an alpaca experience to a friend or family member?
Our alpaca vouchers are a fabulous gift for anyone that loves farm animals or the outdoors and wants to try something new! Vouchers can be posted out if required, and are valid for up to 12 months.
Things to take note…
Alpacas have unique personalities; they definitely have their own speed. Not often but on some days they don’t want to walk as far as others, so we respect this as the welfare of the animals is our utmost priority. Because of this, the walk time may vary on each visit. This is more of an experience rather than a trek, but you will always have a fabulous time!
The weather can be unsuitable for the experience to go ahead if this is the case we may need to rearrange your visit. We do however, walk in the rain, we’re farmers after all!
Reminder: dogs are not allowed on our farm. Alpacas don’t like dogs, and we want to make sure they are having as much fun as you!
Children under the age of 10 are allowed to walk an alpaca on their own at the managements discretion.
