Alpacaly Ever After
About
Alpacaly Ever After invites visitors to experience the gentle charm of alpacas and llamas across four unique locations in the Lake District. The flagship site, The Lingholm Estate in Portinscale, offers Private Alpaca Walks and Meet‑the‑Alpacas sessions amid walled gardens and rolling hills. Visitors can explore the open and welcoming wetlands at Whinlatter Forest, the scenic Lakes Distillery near Bassenthwaite Lake, or the Basecamp North Lakes on the Penrith side of the region. Each activity is family‑friendly, adaptable for wheelchair users, and includes hands‑on interaction such as feeding, walking, and learning about animal care. All experiences are booked online via the single‑click ‘Book an Adventure’ portal, and vouchers or charity discounts can be applied at booking time. With a minimum adult price of £15 and walk durations ranging from 40 minutes to 1½ hours, Alpacaly Ever After delivers an engaging, inclusive outdoor adventure that nurtures both body and mind. Ideal for nature lovers, families, and animal enthusiasts, it offers a unique, low‑impact way to connect with wildlife in the rugged beauty of the Lake District.
