I went alpaca trekking for my birthday and it was so fun! We chose to share an alpaca to walk with between 2 and it was so wonderful to walk with. The walk requires walking boots and at some points can get quite steep so bear this in mind, but I'd definitely do this again. It was amazing - and the alpacas were so friendly

What a unique and fantastic experience! Would recommend to anyone who can walk for an hour with steep bits and uneven ground. My 11 year old daughter and I loved sharing teddy!! We want to go again. I may have to sneak back in my own first.

Such a great experience. It's a lovely walk very peaceful and the alpacas are all gorgeous and the staff and volunteers are very knowledgeable and friendly to talk to and ask questions. A very rewarding day out. It's not expensive and the money helps towards the farm so would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to do something different and be out in nature! Will definitely be returning!!

Me and my partner went with his teenage daughter for my belated birthday present on the 12th May. We had a great time walking griff and sandae it was a great walk on the bridal way through the woods.have recommended you to friends. We came as I am looking into getting some alpacas but hadn't had much dealings with them Claire was really helpful and was really knowledgeable about them. Thank you!

I took my best friend here as a birthday gift and we both loved it. The weather was perfect for it. Beautiful animals and very friendly staff.

We had a great time on our trek.Good fun and very friendly. Suitable for all ages. We Would recommend.

What a way to spend a sunny morning in Sheffield. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, the walk is through pretty countryside and the alpacas are adorable. Especially Gordon, who is a very handsome boy.

Had a excellent afternoon taking trekking with the Alpacas, the staff are very friendly and informative, everything is well organised My wife had Forest who such a pleasure to walk with and didn't mind having you stroke him, my daughter had Santiago who was also brilliant to walk with. would recommend this as a place to visit

What a wonderful experience. We were a family of three with two alpacas - Griffen (very calm and stately) and Santiago (fiesty young and fun). After an excellent safety talk we had a wonderful experience walking and feeding the alpacas. Thank you to Claire and her knowledgeable helpers. Would highly recommend. Thank you

Had a fantastic afternoon walking the alpacas. The staff are brilliant, and the views on the walk are amazing. Would Highly recommend and will definitely be back soon. Thank you.

Very well organised experience for all ages which enables you to get up close to nature . Each alpaca had their own personality which was revealed during a pleasant stroll in lovely woodland . Wonderful experience . Thank you to volunteers who organise it .

Three of us visited Holly Hagg on Sun 22nd April 18 for the Alpaca trek. An amazing place - very informative guides, and the alpacas are fantastic, I walked Forest who was brilliant - very steady, and also very cuddly. We learnt a lot about the farm/ alpacas whilst there and the whole experience left us beaming afterwards. Unusual way to spend your afternoon but absolutely worth it - you will love it

Me and my friend Eleanor had a great time walking Gordon! The route was lovely and it was a nice casual stroll. The volunteers were knowledgable and friendly. I would love to come again - next time I want to walk with Forest as I was sad he was left behind when all his mates went off on an adventure! Thanks for a great morning.

I got an alpaca trek for my friend for Christmas! We waited for better weather to book. It was glorious weather but think this activity would be fine for any type of weather. The alpacas are great! We walked Gordon at the back of the pack. He liked taking his time and liked to stop to check out the views (fine for us as we could enjoy the views too) we had a couple of stops to feed the alpacas. The volunteers were informative and friendly. It was a great walk and a great experience. Would definitely recommend to everyone I know and will be going back!

Me and my boyfriend visited Holly Hagg today. We fell in love with all the alpacas but especially the ones we walked trelawney and nimbus! It is a brilliant community run farm. The volunteers are very helpful and answer any questions. It was a lovely walk through the woodlands and country lanes. Trelawney and nimbus are well behaved, love the walk, and the FOOD! Great stop off points to take in the scenery, take photos and feed the alpacas Would recommend it to anyone and we will definitely be returning!

We really enjoyed our morning Alpaca trek through the woodlands and country lanes.Our Alpacas, handsome daddy, Trelawny and the mischievous rascal, Santiago were adorable. A wonderful way to get exercise and de stress. Great activity for all the family. The guides were really friendly and informative. Thank you, we were sad to say goodbye to our new friends, we will be back again soon.

We really enjoyed our trek with the alpacas this morning. Beautiful well kept animals with fascinating personaities. Great fun.

We have just met our new best friends Forest & Teddy the AlpacasAn excellent one hour trek around the local hill side. All the Alpacas have an individual personality and are friendly, socialable and cheeky. Yes, it was muddy, but that just complimented the charm.The staff are really friendly, knowledgable and helpful. We can’t recommend this enough for families and friends.A community project well worth supporting.

We went in a party of four (3 alpacas between us) on a slightly rainy day in April and still had a fantastic time. I've fed tigers and walked with wolves, and I would consider this activity on a par with those for a fraction of the price.The Alpacas aren't very social creatures for the most part, but will allow you to pet them after a bit of bribery with treats, particularly toward the end of the trek once they've become used to your presence. I had Nimbus who turned out to be quite a character; he had recently been neutered so was not in the best of moods, but the staff were very good at allowing me to coax him forward myself and only stepping in when needed, which was just once when two cars appeared on the road at once.Everyone we met on the trek (drivers, dog walkers, hikers etc.) were extremely accomodating and delighted to meet the alpacas.All in all a fantastic morning and have already planned to go again.

We had an absolutely amazing time at Holly Hagg today. We were lucky enough to trek with the lovely Trelawney. Each alpaca had their own little personality and provided lots of laughs along the way! The guides were fantastic and answered any questions we had. The trek was a little tricky in areas with some steep inclines and a little unsteady with the rocks etc but the guides slowed the pace for anyone who wasn't as fit - including Gordon the alpaca who was a little slow at the rear! We had a wonderful introduction and safety briefing and the views during the trek were stunning. We were lucky enough to avoid the rain and had lovely weather for trekking. An absolutely amazing experience and if I could go back every day I would, we travelled from Stockport, Manchester, just to go to Holly Hagg and would do it again in a heartbeat! Huge 5* from us!

I came here with my partner and some friends. Really enjoyed the experience. The animals are really nice and the team looking after you are lovely. Would highly recommend.

I was fortunate to take my over men's 50's Sporting chance group a few weeks ago now and we were all really impressed by the experience. The blokes have really enjoyed telling other members of the group all about their experience and I know full well that some have already booked and been back with grandchildren as they enjoyed it that much. The only downside was the weather and I would advise that people where appropriate footwear (common sense I know) as the floor was rather muddy. However, this being said I thought the volunteers and staff at Holly Hagg coped really well with the conditions and provided appropriate support! I would certainly recommend this to anyone looking for a new experience in the outdoors!

This community farm organises walks with alpacas who all have their own personalities. The walk was muddy and slippery at times with bricks and rocks underfoot in places. There are a few steepish inclines too so you need to be moderately fit. It was well worth it though as we had a great time walking Gordon. The staff are very happy to answer questions and give you a good briefing on how to handle the alpaca. We would definitely repeat perhaps on a warmer less rainy day. Thank you to all the volunteers.

Myself, volunteers and people I work with walked with the Alpacas through the slightly wet but very beautiful countryside while taking in the amazing views of Sheffield. I work for a service that supports a number of people with different Mental Health conditions in and around Sheffield & I contacted Holly Hagg to see if there was some way of facilitating a trek with our clients. This was kindly arranged and everyone that went enjoyed the walk enormously & spoke of little else for a number of daysThe guides were very knowledgeable and friendly, the walk was just the right length and the alpacas themselves were a delight; very friendly and full of personality. The trail can get muddy so proper shoes are advisable. Everyone that went all left with a huge smile on their faces and a desire to come back and do it all again another day.A huge thanks you to all the team at Holly Hagg for a great trek: highly recommended.

My fiance and I thoroughly enjoyed walking two alpacas. Lovely views of Sheffield on a not to arduous walk. The volunteers were happy to answer questions and we loved feeding the alpacas! Will be back soon!

My mum and I went on an alpaca trek and absolutely loved it! The guards are so knowledgable and approachable - they can answer any question asked about alpacas! The alpacas were all very gentle and calm, but you’re told about each one individually before walking them so you know what to do if they get nervous. It is such a lovely activity to do for all ages - however be mindful that the ground can be uneven and slippy when it’s rained. Good walking shoes are a must and the alpacas don’t walk very fast so wrap up warm if it’s cold! 10/10 experience, would recommend to all and I definitely want to go again!

Amazing trek taking in some great views of Sheffield whilst walking your very own alpaca!Volunteers were extremely informative and enthusiastic! Great thing and long may it continue!

We visited Holly Hagg today, and what an amazing experience. The volunteers are wonderful, informative and clearly passionate aboute the alpacas. We walked in woodland with our alpacas. Its an absolute must. They were so well behaved. A wonderful experience i would highly recommend. We will definately be back. Thank you so much x

WOW!!! What an amazing experienceWe purchased 2 places for an afternoon trek with the alpacas and were not disappointed. I had the privilege of taking an alpaca named Teddy such a charmer.The volunteers were all very knowledgeable of all the animals and gave a talk on all the characteristics of each one.The walk was still very muddy after the recent snow but still didn’t put anybody of and had some lovely views.I would definitely recommend and will be back again.

What a lovely way to spend a morning in the country, trekking with such calm, gentle, regal alpacas. The whole experience was great, we got to know about the alpacas, origin, likes/dislikes etc before setting off for a lovely stroll with beautiful views. The guides were great and kept the group together at a gentle pace (dictated by the alpacas!) Don't forget walking boots or wellies if it's been raining.

What a wonderful way to spend a morning! The alpacas are adorable! The volunteers are so friendly and helpful and we learnt so much about these beautiful animals. Highly recommend this activity,get your walking boots on and go and see them!!

Me and my fiance went for a trek in the snow, he loves alpacas. We will deffinatly return back there to seen the animals again soon. Staff were so lovely and very welcoming, couldn't recommend it more if you have a love for animals as we do.. Thank you for a lovely day

What a great day out, the staff are friendly and very knowledgeable and soon have you feeling at home.The alpacas all have their own personality and you also get to choose the one you like the most.Wonderful views over the Rivelin Valley and we was also lucky enough to see three deer run across our path.Adults and children will both love this and i have no hesitation in recommending Holly Hagg Farm who in my opinion rightly deserve to be rated the number one Sheffield attraction.

The guides were very friendly and knowledgeable and made sure we were all happy and safe. The alpacas are great fun and we walked through lovely scenery! Overall a lovely place and a lovely activity to do :)

Great fun walking these beautiful gentle creatures and a very well organised experience. Would recommend this as a fun activity for families or friends.

Went Alpaca Walking really enjoyed it I would recommend this to anyone. The Alpacas are friendly and the leaders ensure safety at all times. Great Gift or day out. Beautiful views over Sheffield too

The guides are friendly, approachable and managed to squeeze three of us in at last minute - thank you! Brilliant fun, our 'go-to' activity for visiting guests as most have never done anything like this!

My members in luv2meetu went on a alpaca walk a couple of weeks ago. We absolutely loved it!! The alpacas are wonderful majestic animals and the volunteers are so helpful and kind. We are hoping to go back in the summer.

Amazing time, staff were really helpful and friendly. Alpacas were very well behaved and a great walking route too

A great day out. The alpacas are so all lovely and very well-trained. The guides are also very friendly and knowledgable. Definately a must-do if you’re in Sheffield.

My wonderful daughter bought the Alpaca Trekking experience for my 50th Birthday and this was a fabulous surprise. The day was cold and snowy but the alpacas loved the trek and were just amazing and so very gentle. All the staff were very friendly and informative and I had a truly wonderful experience which made my day extra special. Thanks to all.

My friend bought me an alpaca trek at Holly Hagg for my birthday, we all went together and had a great time! We got to choose our alpacas based on their unique personalities and went on an hours walk through the surrounding woodlands. Thoroughly enjoyed every minute and would definitely recommend doing this it's fun and different!

We really enjoyed our visit to Holly Hagg. The volunteers were so helpful and informative and ensured we had a fun walk with the alpacas. They were reassuring. We’d definitely recommend this experience to everyone.

Visited today for a Valentine’s Day morning alpaca trek - this really made our Valentine’s Day special.The volunteers were fantastic, friendly and knowledgable and made the trip for us.We absolutely fell in love with Sanday and will definitely be making a return trip in a few months to see him again and go on another trek.Can’t thank this place enough for making Valentine’s Day so special.

Had an amazing afternoon out walking the alpacas as a surprise for my birthday. The weather wasn’t great so our trek was moved from the morning to the afternoon and we were kept up to date through all the changes by text message. The team were lovely and had loads of great stories and information about the alpacas. We were also given a bag of food to treat our new friend along the way. We had loads of fun and would definitely go back for another visit!

We had an amazing time visiting Holly Hagg and walking with the alpacas. All the volunteers are so lovely and know what they’re talking about. I love that you get your own bag of food for your designated alpaca (or the others too, they love their food) and I like how the volunteers take lots of pictures for you to then post on their page for you to keep! I can’t wait to go again already. Such a lovely organisation.

Had a really great time. Alpacad were brilliant and a really nice experience getting to take them out for a stroll. All the volunteers were great and very knowledgeable. Recommend giving it a go

We visited Holly Hagg farm as a birthday treat our daughters 13th Birthday. My daughter and friend led an alpaca, my husband and I accompanied them. It was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. The lady who lead us was really friendly and the alpacas were gorgeous! Definitely recommend as a special treat for anyone who loves animals 😀

Loved it here with the alpacas! I would highly recommend! Everyone very friendly. The alpacas were all really friendly, a great experience.

My 9 year old daughter loves to visit the alpacas, either at the farm or at various local events, so being able to trek with her favourite alpaca was really special. She loved it :-)

Very informative, exceptional value. The guides knew their stuff and we're very friendly. We walked through the woods stopping to look at some 'gobsmacked ' horses who react that way four times a week!The Alpacas were a delight. ..but they wouldn't let me take one home....home not that we could have got one in my car. Loved it.

We had a fantastic time walking our alpaca through beautiful scenery including amazing views of Sheffield. The staff were really friendly and explained things very clearly which made for a great trip. We loved our alpaca, Santiago, he was so cute and cheeky and was a delight to handle. We were given a pouch of food so we could feed him at certain points on the trek, which was really fun and we were able to stroke him and take pictures with him. I would recommend this to anyone who likes animals and also thought the trek was really good value for money. Would love to come again!

What a great afternoon. My 10 tear old son loved it. Friendly knowledgeable staff. The alpacas are really well behaved and enjoyed it as well. Thank you Clare and Forrest.

Lovely Saturday walk with alpacas, the walk was easy and relax. All alpacas are well trained and easy to handle with. Highly recommend this half day out activity.

Lovely visit, you get to walk an alpaca for about an hour, be prepared to get muddy, it is such an enjoyable experience, everyone is lovely and the alpacas are so calm, it's an amazing experience.

Fabulous time learning about the lovely animals from Claire ‘their mum’ and then taking Griffin for a trek along Rivelin Valley. It was damp and muddy but that didn’t spoil our enjoyment at all. Well chosen Christmas present to enjoy with my 30 year old daughter but suitable for smaller children too.

I was given the alpaca trek as a Christmas present and it was so worth the wait. The guides are incredibly inviting and friendly and made the trek a lot easier, we had the pleasure of walking Teddy who at the time was slightly ill but you couldn’t tell! All the alpacas are lovey,friendly and adorable. (Also very fluffy) I will definitely be going back!

Fantastic experience walking and feeding the alpacas through the Rivelin woods and bridal ways I booked this experience for my three nieces and we all really enjoyed it. Trip lasts about 1hr 15 mins

Had the fantastic chance to visit in January. My daughter(13) was delighted to have this experience. We got to walk with the lovely Forrester. Great animals and the leaders are absolutely delightful. I would highly recommend this activity for all ages.

Absolutely brilliant. Very well organised and the guides were great. The alpacas were a delight. Thank you! Highly recommended

We visited on a Saturday it was unplanned but we were greeted by Claire who was in the farm. Despite prior booking we ended up meeting Alpacas and had a chance to feed them and witnes them so up close. Definitely worth a visit in Sheffield. Great work at the farm.

Wonderful time to connect with nature with the beautiful alpacas. I came away with a huge smile and feeling so happy ! Lovely to see children focussing on the alpacas and not their phone ! Definitely recommend this trip !

My Mum booked the trek for my 21st Birthday. We had a great time. The staff were very friendly and informative and the alpacas were lovely to walk with. I trekked with Forest who was great to walk along side. I really enjoyed the exercise and the opportunities to feed the alpacas and take photos. 100% would go again.

Really friendly and informative staff (who are all volunteers). A lovely walk and absolutely adorable alpacas. THe best thing i've done in Sheffield.

We had so much fun walking the alpacas! We fell in love with one called Teddy!! They were all so friendly, definitely worth a day out!!!! Loved it!

Had an amazing day, such a lovely gift. Had the most fun amazing day, the alpacas are so nice and friendly and such a lovely day out!

Another lovely afternoon spent meandering around the lanes while leading a beautiful Alpaca. This one was a birthday treat and I had a job trying to get my partner away when it was over. I would recommend this to anyone as a treat.

Took my alpaca mad sister there today to take the alpacas for a walk. I had Santiago and she walked teddy.... beautiful creatures and the staff were very knowledgable and friendly, will definitely be back... thanks to all at Holly Hagg farm

Having seen alpaca walking, on Country File, I thought I'd treat my husband and myself to something a little different. We picked Holly Hagg because it's a non funded community organisation. We had two beautifully behaved alpacas, Santiago and Griffin. We thoroughly enjoyed our walk. For something a little different, Holly Hagg is definitely worth a visit.

We were visiting family in Sheffield and were looking for activities to keep us busy during our week long stay and found Holly Hagg Farm online. We booked a 1 alpaca trek for two adults trek for £27. My husband's brother and wife accompanied us and together we went to meet the alpacas! The staff were amazing, and when you first arrive, they give you a brief summary of what they do on the farm and a overview of the alpacas, their personalities and how to walk with them. They try to assign you an alpaca based on your level of comfort leading a large animal and where in the pack you want to be (front, middle or bringing up the rear). We got Griffin, a lovely dark brown/black alpaca, who was very calm and easy to walk. We were near the rear of the group and took turns leading Griffin and enjoying the trek. It's definitely a hike, so wear appropriate footwear! I was huffing and puffing a bit up some of the steep slopes, but managed to keep up. The terrain should be considered before deciding to visit. We wanted to bring my husband's parents, but they both have some trouble walking and use canes, so this would not have been a doable excursion for them. The staff guided the group every step of the way, warning us of dogs, cars, horseback riders, etc, so that we could all share the trails safely and keep the alpacas feeling safe. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit, and plan to come again next time we're in Sheffield. Everyone that loves animals should have this experience! It was so much fun! Some things to consider... As the staff will explain, the alpacas are not raised to be cuddly and don't really want to be touched very much, although they are very willing partners on the trek. If you think the lack of petting and fussing will be a big disappointment for you, you're forewarned. Also, there are no real facilities at Holly Hagg, so no shop, no cafe, and I didn't see any flush toilets, so eat beforehand and visit the loo before you arrive to be comfortable!

Great for young kids, couples, friends... anyone really! The volunteers were very friendly and accommodating... an all-round great day. Highly recommend this place for a good morning/afternoon out, the alpacas are absolutely lovely.

I came with my sister last week and we absolutely loved it! The alpacas were adorable and I loved that the staff took the time to tell us about each of their personalities. I was a little worried about the trek beforehand but it was a really steady walk (the alpacas like to walk quite slowly), quite steep in places but nothing too difficult. The staff were very welcoming and would answer any questions, we had such a lovely day that we are planning another trip in the summer.

Had an amazing Sunday trek with alpacas, me and my sister had a wonderful day and Claire and the volunteers were so welcoming and helpful! Teddy was just the cutest and Santiago was on his best behaviour! We are already planning a trip back in summer!

Such a wonderful experience, my son and I absolutely loved it. The alpaca's are just the cutest things. We walked them, we fed them and we learned more about them. Highly recommended.

Went on an alpaca trek with Holly Hagg with my almost 13 year old son and we both had a fantastic time. We took Forest for a walk, he was lovely as were the rest of the alpacas and the staff who look after them. Highly recommended!

The staff are polite and very informative about the alpacas. After been introduced to the alpacas you are given the choice to choose your favorite. We chose Santiago, who made our day.

Amazing experience!! Went with my boyfriend and had so much fun & the guides were absolutely lovely and friendly ☺️

We had wonderful time trekking with the alpacas. The staff were friendly and very knowledgable about the alpacas.

I visited Holly Hagg with friends and had the best time with the Alpacas. The staff were friendly and open to answering questions about the Alpacas, and very accommodating of our group. I would seriously recommend a visit to Holly Hagg to walk the Alpacas.

We visited Holly Hagg Alpaca Track with our 3 kids 14, 12 and 9. They described each of the Alpacas personalities and suited my kids to suitable Alpacas. The guides where very informative and at an age to find something that pleased everyone this worked well. We got time to feed the Alpacas and on the same walk was a few other couples. Therefore I would recommend this for any age, although young ones would need an adult to guide/walk Alpaca with them. My kids gave it a 9 out of 10 purely due to the fact that a light shower otherwise they said would be 10 out of 10. They even provided hats for us. Would recommend to kids and adults alike

This was a wonderful day out, trekking with alpacas on the outskirts of Sheffield. The guides were incredibly informative, teaching us about the history of alpacas and the personalities of their herd. They were also very friendly and ensured we had a fantastic trip. It was amazing, would recommend!

We had a great time getting to know Gordon and the other alpacas today on a trek. Claire explained all we needed to know about their behaviour and we all got to choose our favourite to guide. A lovely thing to do!

My boyfriend and I came to the farm today as we both love animals and are always on the look out for new things to do. The alpacas (or ‘reinpacas’) and the trek are great and I think it’s fantastic that the proceeds go towards the maintenance of the farm and gardens! Can’t wait to return in the summer, thank you all.

Had a very informative and relaxing walk around woodland with Teddy the Alpaca this week. Claire and the other guides were friendly, accommodating and well informed and the whole visit was a pleasure. The Alpacas were friendly and enjoyed the food stops along the way with plenty of opportunities for photos. All in all a fantastic opportunity to get close to these wonderful animals and learn something in the process. Will definitely be back.

We enjoyed a lovely autumnal walk today with the beautiful and very well behaved alpaca Trelawney. The walk was mainly through woodland, with opportunities on route to take lots of photos and feed the alpacas. Claire and the other volunteers were very friendly and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend!

My son and I had a wonderful walk with Teddy- a very friendly Alpaca. We had a lovely walk through woodland with plenty of photo stops and opportunities to feed our alpaca with the food provided. My son was very sad to say goodbye to Teddy at the end of our walk and we will definitely be returning. Staff were absolutely lovely and very accommodating.

A very enjoyable walk with the alpacas in countryside. Guides very friendly and competent. Thinking of doing it again with a friend some time.

Our service user Amy thoroughly enjoyed her Alpaca experience, she is a young lady with learning difficulties but loves animals. She still hasn't stopped talking about it and would love to go again.

A thoroughly enjoyable and unique experience. We are bound to go again. All the alpacas were gorgeous, but we hit the jackpot with Teddy.

I booked this Alpaca trek for my mother in law and her sister who was visiting from Sweden. It was a wonderful experience - something very unique and memorable. The host took photos of us which would could look at afterwards on Facebook. It was a lovely thing to do - highly recommended.

First class morning out with the Alpaca's. I can recommend this to any animal lover. These Alpacas are really worth meeting and the trek through woodland and public bridleways was fantastic to say that Sheffield City Centre is a stones throw away. It is also a wonderful experience for children with special needs.

My friend and i enjoyed a lovely autumnal walk with these fabulous creatures. The walk was informative and good fun with people encourage to chat & just enjoy a relaxing activity. It was well organised & everyone was very friend;y. I'm already looking forward to my next one!

A great afternoon walking with the Alpacas highly recommend it great experience. Make sure you wear good footwear as it was quite a trek.

Thank you to everyone involved with the trek it was an amazing experience that we all enjoyed. Keep up your amazing work

Brilliant afternoon , I went along with my son who is 9 and normally moans about walking any far distance but he absolutely loved every minute of it. We walked Sandy who was lovely and was very easy to guide along.Will definatley be returning , thankyou for a lovely time

Always wanted to do this...so we booked the 12 noon slot and when we arrived Claire talked us through the do's and don'ts of trekking with an Alpaca, we were given one each plus a bag of food (for the Alpaca) not me to stop off en route for feeding, had a pleasant walk through the countryside (good boots needed). Really enjoyed it. Well behaved Alpaca's. Don't go to Meadowhell.... go here. Many thanks to Claire and the team for a wonderful day.

Had a lovely afternoon yesterday 17/10/17 - With my daughter Victoria and myself. We where looked after very well I walked Santiago and my daughter had Teddy. I would advise good walking shoes, and to be fit and able bodied to do this walk. The alpacas do like to stop and take in the view, it is a steady walk through some stunning woods. Would recommend this as a lovely way to an afternoon. I will say there is no food or drink available but this did not detract and there is a nice pub just down the road. A great time had, and a must do, very reasonably priced too. Student discount is given also.

I decided I wanted to buy my friend Shaz something different for her 60th, she loves walking but I wasn't sure whether she would like walking with Alpacas. It was a surprise but the look on her face when she saw the Alpacas was indescribable. After an brief introduction from Claire informing us about the community project, she gave a more lengthy introduction the 7 Alpacas and told us how to handle the boys. I chose Sanday and Shaz chose Griffin. We had the most amazing experience,the alpacas were delightful and had there own individual characters. During the trek the atmosphere was calm and relaxing , Claire and the two volunteers were on hand and very accessible. Bill (I hope I got his name correct) in particular informing Shaz and I about the the garden project including the work volunteers do. He also gave us more information about the two alpacas we were with. I dont think I could have bought Shaz a better present, she loved it and plans to take some of her family next spring/summer on a trek. As for me it was a wonderful experience and one I will treasure I intend to do this again, after all Sanday took me trekking yesterday and there are another 6 Alpacas to go trekking with.

This is certainly something different to do at a weekend! Our walk with the lovely Alpacas provided the chance to learn all about these creatures and get up close with them for an hour or so walk. We were well briefed on them beforehand and discovered their names and different personalities. Each has their own place in the trekking order! We walked Griffin and Sande, the latter being the more laid back of the two and Griffin a bit more active, but also amenable, bearing in mind these aren't domesticated animals. A great way to support a valuable local community conservation charity and a fab day out.

I went here as part of my Hen do and it was such an amazing experience. There was 7 of us in total! Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves Claire and her extremely helpful volunteers made the experience one to remember. All the alpacas are really friendly. It really is a must do experience - the walk is fairly easy going and you get to see some lovely views of sheffield. Would highly recommend to anyone who would like to do something different and fun! Thanks to Claire for making my Hen do even more special! Will definitely be returning in the very near future!
