This was my Christmas gift from my husband. The young lad who gave the briefing prior to the trek was brilliant. It was his first time doing it and he rocked it! He told us all about the individual alpacas and their personalities, how to handle them and lead them. My alpaca was called Gordon, which I thought was hilarious!! 😂The walk itself was delightful, through some lovely woodlands. You do need to have good mobility as it’s quite rocky and steep in areas. There is a compost loo, with hand washing facilities. There’s no cafe or shop, so have a good lunch before you go.

Wonderful place and wonderful people and even more wonderful Alpacas. We were very lucky with the weather - the scenery is beautiful and the Alpacas were all great - such a relaxing and enjoyable experience!

Must do if you are visiting Sheffield! Remember to book in advance though as time slots fill up really fast!!

Just had a afternoon walk here, put simply, AMAZING! Such a great time out, the volunteers were very friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend as something to do!

Ideal Family Walk Quiet and not too Demanding. Interesting Scenery Good Underfoot Felt Safe Throughout !.

We had a wonderful morning trekking with the lovely alpacas from Holly hag. We were introduced to each alpaca by the very informative Claire ,then each of the group chose they’re own alpaca by which personality suited them and each alpaca lived up to they’re reputation! It was also very interesting to hear all the positive things that the farm has done environmentally and for the community. The trek took about an hour through the woodland, a couple of stops for photos and feeding , which The alpacas throughly enjoyed. They are Beautiful gentle animals ,what a treat to walk with them. Thankyou.

Wow, what an amazing way to spend a Saturday morning.. (absolutely worth getting out of bed for!) My friend and I had a fantastic time walking our chosen Alpaca (Forest) around the wooded paths and (not too steep) hills of Holly Hagg farm. Our introductory talk taught us about the development of the project and touched on the importance of sustainability, community, education and therapy in the upkeep and popularity of the farm. Fascinating, as well as thoroughly great fun! We were exceedingly lucky to have the sun shining for us and the 'residents' were raring to go! Superb staff and volunteers also! Recommend, for all ages!

Just back from an alpaca trek .What a wonderful experience.We were contacted yesterday as bad weather was forecast during our trek today. We had the option of rearranging or cancelling, and managed to go on an earlier trek this morning.Well organised with a very informative and knowledgable guide. Thankyou to Claire and the team, you are all clearly passionate about the animals, and thankyou to Griffin! Highly recommend this experience

Really friendly volunteers and leader, giving lots of info on the alpaca and happy to answer any question! We were even given an alpaca each as there was a spare one on the day!

Had a great time walking alpacas, even the rain couldn't put us off. Thank you Claire keep up the good work 😀

Wonderful walk with Alpacas - what’s not to like? Friendly and informative staff make for a great day out 😀

We went on the valentines day walk and loved it. Friendly and informative staff and the Alpacas were great, all with their own character.

If you like animals, and enjoy walking in the countryside this is perfect. Claire told us what to expect from the Alpacas and how to lead them. It was a lovely experience leading this beautiful, gentle animal. Perfect weather too! Thank you Gilbert!

We loved our experience with the alpacas. We gained a lot of info, and the friendliness and professionalism with our arrangements and the visit itself make this a highly recommendable attraction. Well worth a trip to Sheffield for and a must-do for anyone needing a bit of alpaca therapy!

Thoroughly enjoyed the alpaca trek today which was bought for me as a birthday present. The guides were so friendly, helpful and welcoming. The alpacas were beautiful and well behaved. The guides were knowledgeable and chatted with us on our trek, and it was so lovely how they described the personality of each individual alpaca. Such a privilege to be able to take part in this lovely experience; a day I shall remember and treasure for a very long time.Looking forward to returning for your community events.

I took a friend to Holly Hagg as a birthday present last year, and it really was a great day out we shared a Alpaca for our trek, Santiago! He was a very funny and cheeky boy. Great leaders who really are doing a good job, know what they are doing and seem like they really love their job. Will definatly be returning this spring! Loved it

Fantastic, chilled circa hour and a half with beautiful alpacas and guides who clearly care about the animals. A wonderfully different thing to do. Thoroughly recommended.

My wife has wanted to trek with alpacas for a long time, I booked as a surprise for her and it couldn't have been easier, just book the day you want and pay. The day before there had been snow and Claire sent us an email explaining that conditions maybe slippy due to ice and if we didn't fancy we could book another day. On arrival the place looked wonderful with snow on the ground and we were met by Claire and her team who were all very welcoming. My wife chose Griffin to trek with. The route was through woodland and was reasonably easy to get round. Claire the leader dotes on the animals as do the other guides. Griffen and his pals were all well behaved and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

Had a fantastic day on an alpaca trek at Holly Hagg. The guides were great, alpacas adorable and the walk wasn’t too strenuous. Would recommend everyone go and visit this place.

Went with my girlfriend and really enjoyed our morning with Griffin and the rest of the Alpaca herd. It was great to see how passionate the lead guide Claire was about the animals and the level of knowledge she had about them. A great activity for adults and kids alike. We hope to return in the near future with family. Would advise people to bring decent footwear, especially in winter as the trail was very muddy in places.

We booked an alpaca trek as part of a Christmas present and we went as a family of four with two teenagers. Holly Hagg is a non profit organisation and works voluntarily to look after local land. The alpaca trekking was amazing very friendly staff who explained all about the alpacas which are just adorable. We had a fantastic walk with the alpaca and each one has their own personality. You get to walk with them, feed them and get to know their personality in just an hour and a half. We have had an amazing morning and would like to thank Claire and her volunteers for looking after us. Highly recommended to anyone.

Amazing morning. We all really enjoyed it despite the very cold weather. Will definitely come back again in the summer.

Wonderful experience to be close to the alpacas. Went with my adult son who thoroughly enjoyed it. Recommend to anyone thinking of visiting.

The perfect way to start 2019, I’d highly recommend this to anyone who loves animals! You get a good amount of time to walk, feed and give attention to your alpaca and feel a real bond with them by the end of the trip, we’ll definitely be back to walk them again!

We went just before Christmas for our 2nd visit. Although the weather was bad, it was agreed by all that we went out, there was no pressure from the staff and they were really happy to cancel the event and we rebook, as they didn't want us to have a bad experience. Anyhow we got to take out the Alpacas and they walk was great! The staff are really attentive and knowledgabe, we had all our questions answered. We were never more than a couple of meters from one of the team, which gives us as handlers confidence that we arent left alone.Great day and great experience - thank you!!

Myself and my girlfriend have been on a trek this morning. We had Forest, absolutely lovely animal if not a little mischievous! Slightly greedy when it comes to feeding but lovable with it. The guides were very informative and really cared about the animals. We would definitely recommend to anyone!

I had a brilliant experience walking the alpacas. The walk itself was much longer and rougher terrain than I expected, which was a nice surprise. The staff are all lovely - very observant and quick to help if the alpacas are being stubborn! I really enjoyed being able to buy some fresh eggs laid by the chickens that they have there, too.

My friend invited me to go here for her birthday. Neither of us had been before so we didn't know what to expect. When we got there, our leader introduced us to each alpaca. Me and my friend got to choose our alpaca. It was a beautiful walk through the hills of Sheffield and the alpacas were moderately well behaved. However, half way through the walk, a couple of dog-walkers passed us. One of the alpacas was spooked and ran off towards the road. The leader of the walk managed to control the alpaca but it was still rather startling. For this reason, I would not recommend for children under 9 years to participate in the walks. Overall great experience. Lovely people and animals. Very calming and relaxing.

My visit was a Christmas surprise and it was brilliant!! The weather was poor but the never spoiled the occasion. The trek was muddy, so sturdy boots, were needed. The volunteer staff are very friendly and I cannot wait to go again!

Just got back from a fantastic xmas treat walking the alpacas at Holly Hagg. Lovely wet winter walk through gorgeous countryside. The alpacas, Trelorney and Teddy were perfect for our children 9 and 12. Our guides were super friendly, like having an extended family walk. The kids cant stop smiling and weve got lovely family memories for xmas 2018. Definitely going back next year.

Had a lovely morning with my daughter, this was a Christmas treat for her has she has autism, she loves animals she walk griffin who she really loved he even snuggled her which they say he doesn’t do all the way home she talked about him thanks for the lovely experience and making a happy memories thanks once again and can’t wait to visit them again

We went Alpaca trekking (or Reinpaca as it's December!) for something a bit different to do, and we were not disappointed. The trekking was fantastic from start to finish. We were introduced to the lovely guides and told about the farm, then given instruction on how to handle the Alpacas. We were given a bag of food for the Alpacas, told about the Alpacas we would be taking out, paired up with them, then the walk began.The walk was partly on the road, and partly through countryside - as it was rainy it was quite muddy so sensible footwear is a must. As we walked by a small part pf residential area people were slowing their cars to look - it certainly attracts attention!There were a couple of stops along the way to feed the Alpacas and take photographs. The guides are very friendly and offer to take photos for you (using either their camera or yours). All along the walk the guides ensure everyone is happy, and safe.The walk lasted around an hour and a half and it flew by. Even in the less than perfect weather it was an amazing experience that I'm sure we'll be repeating (and bringing others along with us!)Extra info:The farm was a little difficult to find (the SatNav postcode tries to send you to a place call Clough Farm) - it'll tell you to turn in to the farm but if you've turned in from Stephen Hill keep following the road down (past where it tells you to turn) and you'll see a sign for Holly Hagg on your left.Parking is on the street across from the farm (free, no permit needed).The route we took was quite hilly - I'm unsure if there are alternative routes. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable so would be able to advise if an alternate route is available.

Bought for me as a birthday present by a friend and such a fantastic experience. Alpaccas are beautiful,intelligent animals, with individual personality. Before we started, the lovely lady who led the trek introduced us to the herd and told us a little bit about each Alpacca. We then got to choose which one we would like to trek with and before setting off, we were given comprehensive instructions to help us get the most out of the trek. Ample opportunity to ask questions, stop to feed the animals, take photos and enjoy the walk and the scenery. A fabulous enterprise which will benefit from wider support from the general public so that a wide range of people can enjoy this experience. I understand that by taking part in the trek, this enables the farm to organise treks for children with special needs - such a worthwhile cause to be applauded and supported. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience with Griffin and the herd.

My best friend booked for us go reinpaca trekking. It was booked as a surprise and I didn't know about it until we arrived and I had the nicest surprise seeing the Alpacas with their little antlers on. We were introduced to all of the Alpacas and got to choose which one we wanted to walk with. The walk was lovely and the staff were super friendly and helpful. The Alpacas loved it!I will definitely be booking this again in the future for other friends and family.

Me and my friend had the best time walking alpacas!!! We had the pleasure of being paired up with Santiago and everyone was so lovely.

Wonderful place and wonderful guides. The treks are great but the whole project is worth a visit. Both interesting and educational how they manage the space and their approach to using the plot incorporates a whole range of permaculture techniques!

We had an absolutely incredible time on our alpaca trek. The guide was excellent, kicking off the walk by teaching us about their different personalities and eating habits, and sharing tips on how to bond with your new furry friend. We walked Teddy, who loved a cuddle and always likes to sprint ahead at one point in the walk. It was so soothing to get out of the city streets and walk alongside such loveable and respectful animals. I would recommend this for adults and children alike. I cannot wait to go back!

I booked for my 11 year old son and me to do the 1 hour experienceThe organisers were lovely and were very understanding as we were a bit late. There was a talk on how to correctly hold and walk the alpacas. The organisers were happy to answer questions and clearly took great care of their alpacas and are very fond of them. The walk was mainly off road which enabled us to take in some views. It was very relaxed and allowed time to bond and feed our alpaca. I would highly recommend this experience

Went for my Sister's birthday as a surprise. We loved it. Something very different to do. The Alpacca team put a banner up for her birthday and gave her the Alpacca leader to walk with. The Alpacca's are fascinating, intellegent amazing animals. We learnt so much about them and the trek they took us on was fabulous woodlands. What a fabulous day. A big thanks to the Alpacca's and the Team, especially Mags, for making the experience so enjoyable.

Thankyou Claire Margaret & team for all the care you give to the Alpacas. The whole trekking experience is wonderful & it is a privilege to be able to take them out into the beautiful wooded countryside. My day was very happy & memorable. Julia Raynor Lynne & Gize xxx

Had a wonderful time at Holly Hagg meeting the alpacas. The staff were very friendly and easy to talk to. I would definitely recommend doing an alpaca walk, it's a lovely way to get to know some wonderful animals, who all have their own very distinct personalities! I hope to visit again sometime. Thank you!

We really enjoyed the time with the alpacas, a well organised walk with excellent knowledge friendly guides. Would definitely recommend this , thank you Holly Hagg

Fantastic day. Really great experience. Loved it. Visited with my 8yr & 11yr old children who also loved the experience. The volunteers are very knowledgeable & friendly.

Had a great time walking with the Alpacas. It was great walking alongside Nimbus. I would recommend this as a great day out

My wife and I have gone to this short walk and the experience was fabulous. The walk was well organized with special care that we are paired up with the “right” sequences of alpaca so that my wife and I can walk together. Highly recommended.

This is a must do for anyone who loves alpaca! This tour is so much fun and was a fab experience! We did the 1hr 15 trek and thoroughly enjoyed every second of it! You get to choose which alpaca you want to lead and get to know all about each one before you set off! Very well organised and lots of fun!! We would recommend to everyone wanting to do something unusual and fun! We will return again for sure! Thank you Holly Hagg for a fab morning!

We had a great time today visiting and walking with the Alpacas. The staff were welcoming and really love what they do. It's a great morning and all community driven.

Bought this as a gift for my daughters birthday and we had a wonderful couple of hours getting to know the alpacas and then trekking in Rivelin Valley. Such an excellent enterprise that connects the countryside with the community that is lead by such passionate and knowledgeable volunteers. Would definitely recommend.

What a brilliant morning we had on Saturday, 29 September meeting the alpacas, and learning all about their characters and how to handle them, before being 'paired' up! We chose Teddy and his friend Santiago, who were both a delight!. We were made very welcome by Claire and the volunteers, who were on hand for information and advice. The trek through the lovely countryside was just wonderful. A memorable experience with such wonderful animals.

A friend bought me this experience as a birthday gift and it was the best gift ever! Amazing! They talked us though the alpacas personality’s so we could chose one that suits us, I chose Sandy and my friend chose Griffin. Whilst on the trek sandy was so calm and polite and he allowed me to stroke him all the time 😊. It was such a lovely experience and allowed us to see how lovely alpacas really are. I would recommend this to anyone that’s a lover of animals and I will definitely be doing it again.

This is such a great experience and I would recommend it to anyone. The staff/volunteers are so helpful and obviously passionate about what they do. The alpacas all have their own personalities and the staff make recommendations and take suggestions about which one you might want to walk with. My boyfriend and I walked with Forest, who was one of the cuddlier ones and loved a scratch and a hug (as well as nibbling on anything he could find).

I surprised my wife with this experience gift and we both loved it more than anything! It’s a MUST DO experience, great for couples, family’s and friends, the alpacas are such adorable animals they will steal your heart with in seconds, the handlers / tour guides are very friendly and helpful couldn’t recommend this enough you’re guaranteed to have an amazing time!! Book your alpaca walk now!! It’s something you will never forget! Thank you HollyHagg Farm for a fantastic time! We will most certainly be back soon!! X

As a family of five, we had a lovely time meandering around the footpaths of the Rivelin valley with our beautiful fluffy friends in tow. Claire was a delight and super organized, it is great to see such a well-run venture, happy alpacas, home-grown produce and all fuelled by volunteers. A special mention needs to be made to want-to-be vet Tyrell - at just 15 he has been volunteering for over a year at Holly Hagg. He is extremely knowledgeable about the animals and a wealth of information, we enjoyed a very pleasant wander with his easy company - a real credit to the team.Our Alpaca named Gordon was so well behaved and seemed to enjoy the trek immensely - such fantastic animals, it was super to learn so much about them.In short, a wonderful activity and the cost goes to ensuring these lovely animals are well cared for and have everything they need :)

I bought alpaca trekking for my fiancée and it proved to be the cheapest and best present for many a year. It’s very much focussed on the community and the animals’ welfare, so box ticked there (!) but it was a great few hours. We were introduced to the alpacas, which we picked on strength and naughtiness and off we went. The valley is beautiful, however coupled with taking such a lovely animal along the way made is so much more wonderful. This is the number one thing to do in Sheffield; of course it is!

Our daughter thoroughly enjoyed the trek for her birthday treat, pleasant walk with calm alpacas in the autumn sunshine.

Visited today with my partner for an alpaca walk. All staff were knowledgeable and friendly, and the alpacas themselves were easy to lead and were lovely animals. Would definitely recommend and come again. Make sure you wear shoes you’re comfortable with going up and down places that are a bit sloped and rocky! And if you get the chance to choose your alpaca, choose Forest - he is very gentle and friendly and likes strokes!

Such a great experience! The volunteers were so accommodating and friendly (as were the alpacas!) Will absolutely recommend and do it again!

Book this in advance if needed. It will be a couple of hours of your day that you will be very happy you did. Whether a local (I’m sure many people don’t know about this gem) or visiting, learning about the alpaca from very caring volunteers and then heading off on a wander (aka trek) through the bridle paths in the area, this is one activity I will not soon forget! Fortunate to also have sunshine, I’d do it again in any weather! The trek has a few hills, but the alpaca do not walk quickly, so it is quite fitting for most levels of walking ability. Thank you for your care of these lovely animals and for making this encounter possible for people. Even had the added bonus of being able to buy some eggs that were laid just that morning! Talk about farm, fresh, delicious!

A lovely experience ran by very welcoming and friendly volunteer workers. The trek was a birthday present and I wouldn’t have rather spent it doing anything other then this!! Would recommend the walk to any lover of animals as these adorable creatures will leave make you wish you could work there too!

This was such a good day out! We went along as two couples and had an alpaca each, I have to say although I knew it would be fun, it totally exceeded my expectations! My alpaca was called Sanday and he was just lovely, such a sweet personality.The volunteers were absolutely great and so knowledgeable, you could tell how much they cared for their animals. Absolutely would recommend this to anyone and everyone!

This is such a fun experience! When you arrive, the staff explain the history of the farm, introduce the alpacas and you get to choose which one to walk with. We had the lovely ‘Teddy’ a 3 year old alpaca who was very friendly and entertaining. The trek is around 45 minutes through woodland. Wear sensible footwear as some bits are rocky. The staff, all volunteers, were really helpful and would provide help if needed. They take photos throughout the trek with permission and you are free to take your own at suitable points. I would definitely visit again, it’s a great thing they do!

My sister surprised me with an alpaca trek for my hen party, and our morning could not have been better. Our whole group had a fantastic time being introduced to the boys by the brilliant staff, and thoroughly enjoyed our trek through beautiful countryside with our alpaca companions! I can not recommend this enough, and we are already planning when we can return.

This is the perfect place to go for anyone interested in alpacas! The animals are treated beautifully and are very well behaved. The volunteers are brilliant and really add to this great experience! Fantastic!! Well worth a visit!

During our visit to Sheffield we came across Holly Hagg on trip advisor & we instantly knew we wanted to visit.Myself & my 2 teenage children had a wonderful morning learning about & walking with these magnificent alpacas. The staff were really knowledgable & just loved their animals.The walk through the woodland was stunning - hard to believe the city was so close. Parts were quite hilly & rocky so sturdy shoes a must. Heartily recommend!!

Brilliant experience, turned up on site, was welcomed warmly, really educational and learned a lot about the alpacas, once we got accustom to our choose friend “Forest”, we set of on a gentle walk around the area, was lovely, loads of sites and phot poetry ties with them, when returning to the site, we took them of the lead and had plenty of time to spend with them. To say it’s a nonprofit organisation, this is a must thing to do in Sheffield. Well worth every penny. Well done guys

Went with colleagues and friends for an alapaka morning walk. The staff is very competent, friendly and professional. Very very nice experience. The path is easy but not recommended for under 3-4yo. Very satisfied.

My husband and I had a fab time today trekking with Gordon. A gentle chilled out boy who likes to be at the back of the herd. The scenery is stunning, the walk with the alpacas so much fun and Gordon walked beautifully for us. I will recommend to family and friends. Thankyou for one of the best Saturday mornings I've had in ages.

Wow had a fantastic morning walking gorgeous Forest he was such a cutie and very friendly. Well worth a visit to holly hagg. Bought for my sisters birthday and I must say was worth every penny would definitely recommend. An experience il never forget loved it. 😃

Perfect birthday present for my husband that me and the kids really enjoyed sharing :) The people leading the trek were really lovely and told us lots of interesting things about the alpacas, i'll be recommending it to all of my friends!

We went as a family with our Alpaca vouchers bought for last Xmas. The experience was wonderful. All alpacas were intoduced to us individually & we all picked our own. Priority was given to our daughter who had her 4 year old with her as her alpaca was particularly good around children. Lovely walk for me but may be not suitable for anyone not confident on steep slopes. The staff were informative & very helpful when needed & this all added to the experience.

I bought this as a gift for my sister in law and myself and I am so glad that I did. On meeting the alpacas for the first time we were given the names and characteristics of each alpaca from the very knowledgeable and informative volunteers. We then set off on our walk with our chosen alpaca named Santiago who was a proper little character but also well behaved, it was so relaxing and we would definitely do it again and would highly recommend it. Thankyou to all the volunteers for a fantastic morning :-)

Really enjoyed our walk with the alpacas. We went as a couple and had an alpaca each (Nimbus & Forest) both of which were a lot of fun. Would defo recommend and will return.

This was a surprise for our daughter to walk with alpacas. We weren't sure quite what to expect, but after a brief introduction to the animals and their characters, we were paired-off and then off on an hour long trek in the Riverlin Valley. The alpacas were so well behaved and the guides full of information, it was a terrific experience - highly recommended.

Such a lovely day spent walking with friendly Alpaca’s. I would love to do this again! This would be great for families or groups of fiends!

What a fab time. Didn’t quite know what to expect but it exceeded all expectations. If you are looking for a great afternoon spent in the countryside with some wonderful animals, this is a must.

I’ve been a student in Sheffield for 3 years and was running out of activities (that didn’t involve drinking..), was a really enjoyable trip out and was something a bit different. It does seem a little bit expensive for what it is but the people who run it are volunteers and the money goes back into the farm so is worth the money.

Great morning Alpaca trekking . Loved it . The animals are lovely as are the people . Very enjoyable ! Highly recommended !

Really enjoyed this easy and picturesque country walk leading an alpaca! Much more fun and interesting than I expected. Staff were friendly, helpful and very informative. Highly recommend.

Walked one of the 7 alpacas from the community farm Sheffield.Lovely activity to do for all ages. the alpacas are well cared for and when you arrive you're introduced to them and their personalities before choosing one to walk.Very informative staff and well organised. Need good shoes as walk over slightly rough terrain. Can take pics but not when walking the alpaca. The staff take photos during the walk.A very relaxing experience and now know a lot more about alpacas.A lovely idea for a present.

Cute little place, great volunteers and wonderful Alpaca. Would visit again. They could make s bit of it maybe more information on the breeds etc- maybe this comes on the trekking which is available.

Really fun morning out with the alpacas and the team, such knowledgable, lovely people.Great walk through the woods & fun picture ops! Make sure you wear trainers as some parts are rocky. Really close to Sheffield city centre for a bite of lunch after. Can’t wait to try the eggs I bought too! Thanks team!

My boyfriend bought me this trek for my birthday and I loved it!!! Easy to find and park. Well treated animals. Very knowledgeable and friendly guides who were well organised and know their animals well. Perfect length of walk and stops for photos. I couldn’t recommend it enough and a very worth while community run organisation!!

Amazing day out walking alpacas. The guides are friendly very knowledgeable and fantastic at what they do. Of course the alpacas are the stars of the shows. Can't wait to visit again!

Highly recommended. I’ve got MS and was slightly nervous having never met alpacas before. We were given a good briefing and introduction to all the Alpacas by the fabulous volunteers. My husband came with me and we had a beautiful black Alpaca called Griffin. He was so well behaved and calm. Everybody thoroughly enjoyed the experience and we would highly recommend it.

Came with a work group on a team social, with some of their children. It was a great afternoon in the sunshine. The guides were knowledgeable and friendly and made us feel at ease. We had a great time walking the alpacas who seemed to enjoy it as well. I've already recommended them to everyone who has asked about it!

Booked a visit as a birthday treat for wife and daughter. Arrived in time for briefing about alpacas, their names, personalities and behaviour etc from dedicated friendly staff. An hour plus circular walk through some beautiful woodland scenery followed but as the website advises it is in some parts very steep and uneven. We had rest and feeding stops along the way before returning to the farm. Highly enjoyable and recommended way to spend a lovely summer morning.

Highly recommended - such a fun & informative activity to do with the children. The guides were fantastic, friendly and very knowledgeable. The walk is in a beautiful setting & the alpacas are so well cared for.

Had a great morning out with the alpacas. Really recommend it! Guides were very helpful and informative and good briefing session to start with. Very relaxing walk with these animals in the beautiful countryside. Thank you to all th volunteers!

The guides were fabulous and very informative about the animals, the setting was beautiful and the alpacas were lovely! 100% would recommend :)

Went with a group of 10 girls for my daughters 10th birthday. The weather was kind and we had a lovely long walk with these amazing animals. The guides were friendly and helpful we had a great time and leant about alpacas too. I would definitely recommend

Spent a very enjoyable couple of hours trekking with the alpacas today. Claire is very enthusiastic and had a great deal of knowledge. The alpacas behaved very well and knew the route. I didn't realise that in places the route would be so steep but I would recommend this trek as an unusual but pleasent way to get out into the rivelin valley

Something totally different. Lovely experience, easy to drive to and park. Would recommend to everyone

Thank you so much Claire, Gamma and Jenny at Holly Hag for a wonderful afternoon.We arrived very early as we was a little bit worried about the way. Easy enough to find if you use the directions on the website.Was in a group of about 15 people with 7 lovely Alpacas, each with their own little personality. We was introduced to all the alpacas individually and told a little bit about them. We had Griffin, a perfect gentleman and Sandey, the champion fleece provider. He was a greedy boy and once his food was gone was nibbling my husband's t shirt and ear 😂The walk lasted for about an hour and was a little steep in places. Lovely countryside and certainly gave passers by a surprise!Feeding stop offs reroute overlooking some beautiful views.A fabulous day trip out. This is a non profit organisation so if you live close enough please go along and support these lovely people. Even buy some freshly laid eggs. You won't be disappointed

What a perfect way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Sharing a pretty woodland walk with these dignified gental animals. It was restful and fascinating at the same time and I can’t wait to visit again.

We visited as a family including my 2 boys (4 and 1). It was a fabulous experience and we really enjoyed walking Gordon! He was very well behaved and took his time. The walk was just long enough for my 2 little ones and we thoroughly enjoyed chilling by the pond afterwards and watching the alpacas taking a dip to cool off! Thanks Claire and the other volunteers! X

Wow wow wow! What a wonderful day we all had! Visited today with my son who is 10, my mum who's in her 60s and 4 friends. We all had an amazing time and loved every second.The Community Garden is lovely,you can see the love and hard work that goes into it. Claire the guide is a delight and you can see how passionate she is about the boys - her young volunteers are great - they are so helpful and a credit to Holly Hagg. The weather was perfect and the trek had some wonderful views - you certainly need sensible shoes and not be afraid to walk up big hills. We stayed and enjoyed a picnic after and watched the boys cool off in the pond but there is so many lovely places to eat on route to Holly Hagg you are spoilt for choice. We would of stayed for the Family Event but it was getting busy and we wanted to give others chance to enjoy the Alpacas- loved every minute of today we will certainly be back - keep up the good work Claire you are doing great - love to you and those beautiful boys x

I would recommend alpaca walking to anybody, and I would recommend Holly Hagg in particular. It’s a fun activity for friends, family, or perfect for a date! It’s a not for profit organisation, the staff seem to really care about the alpacas, who are adorable btw, each with their own amazing personality!You can share an alpaca, or have one to yourself, I’d recommend sharing. They also do a student discount. Ideally wear trainers / walking boots, some of the walk is on an incline too. Don’t forget a bottle of water, and your camera!

a very fun day .A lovely experience ,very friendly volunteers.Would highly recommend.The area is outstanding

From start to finish, this was a wonderful thing to do! The venture is non-profit and all the money gets ploughed back into a community allotment and sharing this with others who have phsycial and mental issues.Claire and her 2 rangers were very knowledgeable about the alpacas and introduced us to each one, telling us a bit about them and their temprament. There were some that liked to be stroked and petted and some who liked to lead! She gave me the confidence to feel that I could lead an alpaca with her guidance.The walk was through wooded areas and on (sometimes) narrow, rockly and quite steep paths so I was glad I had worn sensible footwear. We stopped a couple of times to feed the alpacas which was lovely to do.It was clear that the animals enjoyed being outdoors with people and they were all very well behaved.I would definately recommend this to others.

If trekking with Alpacas isn’t on your bucket list it jolly well should be.Had the most magical time with these beautiful and gentle creatures. They all have their own personalities and are just adorable.We had Santiago who has a reputation as a giddy, naughty boy but he was an angel. Completely fell in love with him. He loves his feed.The guides are lovely and full of information about the alpacasI cannot recommend this trek enough to anyone and everyone, great treat for kids and grown ups alike. Loved it ❤️
