Alpaca Walking
Our unique experiences
Here at Nidderdale Llamas we offer one-of-a-kind adventures through the stunning Yorkshire Dales countryside, all with the company of our friendly llamas and alpacas. Whether you’re trekking with a llama, enjoying a fun walk with an alpaca, or engaging in an experience at our llama and alpaca farm, we promise a memorable day out for adults and older children of all abilities.
Experience walking with alpacas and llamas
Get up close with our adorable alpacas and gentle llamas in our barn, then enjoy a guided walk. Walking with alpacas and llamas is a calming and therapeutic experience, great for families (minimum age 7 years), couples, or groups looking for something unique. Our alpaca and llama experiences include a chance to learn about their behaviour, personalities, and care.
Types of bookings
Nestled in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales, our alpaca and llama farm is home to a wonderful herd of llamas and alpacas. You can meet the animals within our facilities, and learn more about how we care for them. It’s a fantastic educational trip for schools, families, hen/stag bookings, even wedding hire and events, or anyone curious about these fascinating animals. We even offer llama and alpaca therapy where they put you at ease with their ability to bring a sense of good well-being to anyone.
What to expect on a llama or alpaca walk
Our team will welcome you before an introduction to the llamas and alpacas. The team then ‘speed-date’ you to your match! It’s important for animal welfare and your enjoyment that you get to know some facts about these amazing animals before you head out on any walk or trek. Our team give a health & safety demo too, and provide guidance on handling your llama or alpaca whilst out and about, should you need it.
Some of our treks also include refreshments where all dietary requirements are catered for.
Book your llama and alpaca experience
Looking for a different activity and day out in Yorkshire? Whether you’re booking a special celebration, a family activity, or simply want to enjoy the outdoors with a furry companion, walking llamas or walking with alpacas is a perfect choice.
You can enjoy our alpacas and llamas all year round, however, it is essential to pre-book. All of our services and options are subject to availability, and we are not an ‘Open Farm’. Children under 16 years must be accompanied by a paying adult. We regret that no children under 7 years, or babies, are permitted on the farm under any circumstances.
Being purely an animal based activity centre, welfare is our top priority.
Book your trek today or get in touch with our team to find out more about our treks, prices, and availability.
Personalised and small-group treks
Our llama treks and llama and alpaca experiences are generally run in small groups to make sure you have personal attention and safety. Our experienced team will guide you on the trek, introducing you to your walking companion after ‘speed-dating’ and explaining how to handle them.
The Yorkshire Dales
The Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) provides a breathtaking backdrop for your adventure. Whether you’re walking llamas across rolling hills or through peaceful woodland, the views are something special.
Friendly atmosphere
We pride ourselves on making everyone feel welcome, whether you’re a first-time visitor or a regular trekker. Our animals are used to being around people and are well socialised, making them perfect companions for a countryside adventure.
We are based just outside Pateley Bridge, Yorkshire, just 30 minutes from Harrogate and 20 minutes from Ripon. Full directions will be given with your booking confirmation.

Nidderdale Llamas and Alpacas
Llama and alpaca trekking&experiences in the beautiful Nidderdale countryside 🦙
Not sure how Gary ended up in this paddock overnight, he wasn’t bothered though, just had a good munch on grass and was nice and chilled!
As for Neville… well we give up 🤷♀️
Today marks the start of our BRAND NEW Seasonal Special Experiences!
Embrace the magic of the autumn and winter with our cosy Seasonal Special Llama & Alpaca Experience! Whether the weather is crisp, cold or a little wet, you’ll enjoy a heart-warming countryside adventure filled with friendly faces, fluffy coats and plenty of feel-good moments.
Your experience begins with quality time with our lovely llamas and alpacas in the shelter of our indoor barn. Get to know their individual personalities, enjoy some special interactions and discover what makes these gentle, curious characters so unique.
Next, wrap up warm and head outdoors for a 25-minute countryside walk alongside your new woolly friend. Breathe in the fresh country air, enjoy the peaceful scenery and make some unforgettable memories together. Winter weather can be chilly and damp, so warm layers and a waterproof coat are recommended. After all, a little winter drizzle is part of the adventure! However, if the weather if drastic, there is the option for longer meet and greet rather than a short walk out.
To finish, leave the cold behind and settle into our cosy cabin, where you can warm up with delicious cookie and a hot (or cold) drink.
Whether you’re planning a special day out, a unique date, a family treat or a thoughtful gift for someone special, our Seasonal Special Llama & Alpaca Experience is all about slowing down, getting closer to nature and enjoying some cosy countryside magic.
Fluffy friends, fresh winter air, cookies and cosy comforts — the perfect way to brighten a chilly winter’s day!
