Lead friendly alpacas on guided countryside treks through East Devon's stunning landscapes, combining outdoor adventure with animal interaction and hot drinks.

Bearhouse Alpacas offers family-friendly alpaca trekking experiences across the picturesque East Devon countryside, located within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Visitors can enjoy guided walks lasting 1.5-2 hours on scenic routes featuring quiet country lanes, woodland tracks, grassy meadows, and shallow streams where alpacas can drink and paddle. The experience includes hand-feeding the alpacas, numerous photo opportunities with these characterful and photogenic animals, and concludes with refreshments at the farm. The venue caters to all ages and abilities, with a standard circular route of approximately 2 miles and a gentler alternative out-and-back route for less experienced walkers. Children as young as 6 can participate, making it ideal for families, grandparents, and groups. Guests benefit from knowledgeable guides who share educational information about alpaca care and behaviour while maintaining a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere. Bearhouse Alpacas welcomes large groups of up to 14 alpacas for special occasions including birthdays, hen parties, and stag parties. The experience includes a short safety briefing, guided walks with professional photo assistance, and access to a small farm shop selling alpaca-themed gifts including woolens, hats, socks, and keyrings. Operating Monday to Saturday year-round (weather permitting), this unique activity combines fresh air, nature, animal interaction, and memorable family moments.

Great couple of hours spent walking Alpacas, Richard and Pippa were excellent, lots of information and detail about the Alpacas, their native use and diet and health. You get to feed them twice, have photos and a lovely walk in the woods. Highly recommended.
