Experience guided alpaca trekking through the scenic Ayrshire countryside, with options for Meet & Greet sessions and alpaca party packages for families.

Wellwood Alpacas offers a unique and calming outdoor experience where families can trek through the picturesque Ayrshire countryside guided by friendly, docile alpacas. Located at Nether Wellwood Farm, the venue features a small herd of alpacas including Darcy, Basil, Ed, Bernie, Archie, Alfie, Harry, and Hendrix. Visitors can enjoy leisurely walks along peaceful trails surrounded by rolling hills, lush meadows, and tranquil woodlands while listening to the alpacas' gentle humming. The venue caters to different age groups and abilities with two main experiences. Alpaca treks are suitable for children aged 6 and over (accompanied by adults), requiring long trousers and sturdy waterproof footwear. For younger children, those with restricted mobility, or anyone preferring a gentler experience, Meet & Greet sessions lasting 30-40 minutes allow visitors to feed, pet, and walk the alpacas around an enclosed paddock. Beyond regular treks, Wellwood Alpacas offers special party packages featuring games and obstacle courses, making it perfect for birthday celebrations. The venue also accommodates weddings and other special events. After activities, visitors can browse the small gift shop. The farm is seasonal, with closures during April and early May for lambing season.
