Alpaca experiences

Stud Farm is nestled at the foot of the beautiful South Downs, in the historic village of Telscombe and is the perfect location to meet, greet and walk with alpacas.

Alpacas walks start and finish at the farm and last around 1 hour but allow 1.5hrs for the whole experience to include a safety talk, carrot feeding and photo opportunities.

Experience the charm of our alpacas up close on a guided trek. Each alpaca is assigned one Lead Walker to guide them along the trail. Want to share the moment? Friends and family can join as Companion Walkers to enjoy the scenery and snap photos alongside you.

Had a great time walking the alpacas. Beautiful sunny day up on The Downs with fantastic views. Well organised and would definitely do it again. Our granddaughter loved it.

Had an amazing time walking alpacas. 4 of us went and would definitely go back and do it again.
Also found out Alpacas make the cutest noise as well. Wish it was longer. Went way too fast.

A truly lovely experience today walking the very sweet Alpacas at Stud Farm, with super nice hosts and gorgeous views across the Sussex countryside and sea, the Alpacas are so cute and all have really different personalities.  My son, aged 9, also absolutely loved being able to take one of the babies for a walk.  Wouldn’t hesitate to do it again! Thank you Justine and team!

We had a fantastic meet and greet with the lovely alpacas. Found out lots of facts, enjoyed feeding them and giving them a stroke! Wasn't rushed at all, and the young woman who hosted was so passionate and enthusiastic. Would definitely recommend!

Meet Our Boys

Zeus
D.O.B: June 16, 2019
Breed: White Suri
Zeus is a very lovable and extremely chatty boy. He is a confident walker but does enjoy a roll in the long grass
Black Adur
D.O.B: June 2, 2020
Breed: Black Huacaya
Adur is still young so not as experienced at walking as the others. He is still getting used to new experiences so can get a little nervous. If he has a calm and confident handler, he will give you a great walk. Listen out for his funny little chatter noises!
Bilbo
D.O.B: June 14, 2021
Breed: Brown suri
Bilbo is one of our 2 babies of the group. He has the most adorable nature and the biggest brown eyes, although he likes to take his time and snack on the grass He really likes to be close to his best friend Bond.
Rocky
D.O.B: June 8, 2016
Breed: Black & White Suri
Rocky is a lovely, gentle character but can be a little anxious about life so needs a calm and confident walker. He likes to be close to the rest of the group when walking.
Viking
D.O.B: June 9, 2019
Breed: White Suri
Viking has a lovely gentle nature and provides a calm and relaxing walk. However, take care he does love a roll or 4!
Obelix
D.O.B: June 7, 2015
Breed: fawn (patches) Suri
Obelix has a lovely, relaxed nature. He can be a little shy but an old pro at walking. He will give confidence to a nervous handler.
Pedro
D.O.B: August 17, 2015
Breed: Dark brown Huacaya.
Pedro is a determined & quirky character and knows his own mind. If you are firm but fair with him, he will give you a great walk and he does love a carrot or several!
Santiago
D.O.B: June 14, 2017
Breed: Gold Huacaya
Santi is sweet and adorable but very cheeky. He is very chatty and will be your best friend if you have a carrot reward. He is a slower alpaca and likes to be at the back of the group. He is very good at carrot kisses to!
Pachu
D.O.B: August 18, 2015
Breed: Fawn Huacaya
Pachu can be a bit of a grumpy older man with the youngsters. But is a bit of a pro at walking and very calm, so great for a slightly nervous handler. He is a very calm and slower alpaca.
Bond
D.O.B: June 14, 2021
Breed: Brown Huacaya
Bond is the youngest of the group, so like Bilbo is still learning new experiences, but most definitely the cheekiest by far. He sometimes forgets his place, pushing the others out of the way to get to the carrots first. Be careful he will also be into your pockets looking for them!

What to bring and who can walk alpacas

The alpacas walks start and finish at the farm with fantastic views of the South Downs. They last around 1 hour but allow 1.5hrs for the whole experience to include a safety talk, carrot feeding and photo opportunities.

The ground is undulating, can be muddy and uneven and is all ‘off road’ along grass paths and tracks through fields and pasture. The ground can be slippery at times, so we suggest proper walking boots, wellingtons, or stout trainers and in the winter suitable wet weather or outdoor clothing.

Please do not try and book tickets for children’s under the following ages or in a ratio of more than two children to one adult, as we do not want to disappoint on the day.

Age Restrictions

12YEARS

Minimum age to lead an alpaca

2:1

Maximum ratio of children to adults

8YEARS

Maximum age to accompany an adult walker

On the walk

Wear appropriate footwear
