I had a BuyAGift voucher from last year, and after spending a lot of time deciding how to use it, we finally chose the 'Walk with Alpacas' experience offered by Wetley Moor Alpacas. It turned out to be a great choice, as walking with these adorable animals was such a fun and memorable way to use the voucher!

Walk with the Alpacas

After our earlier bookings being cancelled due to inclement weather, we finally had the chance to go on the alpaca walk, and it was a fantastic experience! It was a 60-minute adventure where we trekked with these gentle animals across the scenic Wetley Moor Common. After a short health and safety talk to make sure everyone felt comfortable, we got to meet the alpacas up close and start our walk. The guides were very knowledgeable, sharing fun facts about alpacas, their behavioural traits and how to care for them along the way.

The setting was beautiful and I loved how calm and friendly the alpacas were especially Harley, the alpaca I was walking. He was the oldest of the lot (at 8 years) and such a gentle and patient alpaca.

There were plenty of moments to stop and take photos, so I have some wonderful memories captured. It was an activity suitable for all ages, making it easy to enjoy with family or friends. After the walking session, we also got some time to feed the alpacas.

Walking with alpacas through the peaceful landscapes of Wetley Moor Common was such a unique and relaxing experience, and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking to do something a little different outdoors.
