I would say getting to the barn for a petting session was wheelchair friendly.

Hi there, Thanks for your question. I'm pleased you have asked this as gives us an opportunity to explain our passion for our animals. Llamas and alpacas are very interactive animals and if they have the personality where they enjoy being around people, they love to go out for treks. We have a large herd and can clearly assure you all our animals are part of our family and every single one is treated as an individual. We work with everyone of them on an individual basis every single day in terms of feeding, checking health and ensuring their well being. If we detect a health issue we act straight away and make a decision to either call our vet, or deal with minor ailments ourselves. We then would not allow that animal to take part in any form of trek or experience until we are 100% sure they fit and well again. We have a rota for our animals on the experiences and treks to ensure none of them are ever in a position that they wouldn't want to go out or engage with customers. We have strict limited places on each option and always put our animals welfare first. We therefore often refusing bookings as although we have more animals that could trek, we are very strict with their complete rest days, putting welfare above any revenue. In terms of retirement, each animal is an individual, there is not 'set age', we know them all so well that we make a judgement on how much they are asked to do and we start to reduce their work accordingly dependent on that animals presentation. If we feel they need to completely retire they still have a home with us here for life as we love them all as part of the family. Even though they may have retired from trekking, as they have been used to interaction they often want to take part in simply meeting people. If they were just left in a field, they would become very miserable and feel rejected, making them very unhappy. Each animal knows its name and each one is special to us. We also take in rescue llamas and nurture them back to health or re-build their confidence in humans. Some may remain with us or if not we may re-home but ONLY after checking out a new home and assessing the animals future with that home. We have been known to take llamas back too if their new owner's circumstances change as we like to ensure they have the best possible care. We have the highest welfare standards possible. All our animals are precious to us and valued as individuals not just an animals that attract people to us. I hope this enables you to see how passionate we are about all our llamas and alpacas. if you do decide to book, I'm confident you will clearly see this when you are here spending time with us, as every member of our happy team loves each an every animal. You could also check us out on the series 'The Yorkshire Vet' - channel 5. Our vet is Julian Norton and we often appear on the programme when he is attending to some of our llamas.

Check out the different options available. The Interactive Experience is probably the best option for your mum, it’s a 40 minute walk on mostly flat ground.

Hi, The centre is 12 miles from Harrogate town centre, you need to travel either by taxi or No.24 bus. Directions and public transport information is given on booking. If you let us know on booking you would be travelling by public transport then we can offer you more information. Your children are both old enough to do the Scenic Farm Trek, we offer spectator places too if you want to join in, every place is chargeable as everyone joining is engages in the full experience. We have family experiences too. Full information regards the experiences and treks we offer are listed on the website under 'book a trek page'. We still have available places on the dates you are in Harrogate, but pre booking is essential, we are not a visitor farm and people can not just turn up, so please get in touch via the website or telephone to make your booking. Many Thanks for your enquiry!

Hi, Thank you for your enquiry. I'm sorry but although your dogs are very well behaved, the llamas can become very unsettled with dogs around their area and we can not allow dogs to walk alongside them on the treks. Llamas are highly sensitive creatures and although we do meet dogs out on the treks, we only pass the dogs, if they were to walk with us it would be very un-settling to the llamas. therefore not a relaxing experience for llamas or humans! . Some people book a short experience and leave their dogs in the vehicle then walk them on the footpaths around the farm afterwards, so this is an option you may want to consider.

Children would love the experience. At the end of our short trek they showed a variety of smaller animals and I thought the whole experience was ideal for children/familes. Very informative and educational too.
