Woodlands Alpaca Farm, Warrington

A small working alpaca farm on Lymm Road at Thelwall, and the format is the opposite of the big farm parks: you book a session, an alpaca walk or a hands-on animal hour, and the animals get your full attention rather than the other way round. Goats, pigs and rabbits fill out the petting side for the ones too small to take a lead rope.

Reviewers keep using the same two words, friendly and value, and the staff get named as often as the alpacas. It slots neatly into a Warrington day: a booked morning session here, then Lymm Dam's free loop or Walton Hall's free gardens to run off the rest of it, all inside fifteen minutes' drive.

Know before you go

This is a session place, not an all-day farm park. Book the walk or the petting slot and build the rest of the day around Lymm Dam or Walton Hall nearby.
Alpaca walking suits children who can hold a lead rope calmly, which in practice means about six and up; smaller ones get the petting corner instead.
