About this event

Enjoy a leisurely stroll around the Farm Trail with our friendly resident alpacas Taffi, Gwyn and Uncle Bryn.

The fluffy trio will be wearing their harnesses, ready for you to take the lead and head out on a 1km trail. With endless photo opportunities, you'll also get to take part in feeding time and have the chance to ask as many questions as you can think of to the alpaca handlers who will be in attendance for the duration of the experience!


About the route:

The route has areas of gravel paths, it's relatively flat with a slight incline and is accessible with a Tramper buggy. The Alpaca Walk experience can be altered to suit specific accessibility requirements. Please get in touch directly with Margam Country Park if you'd like to discuss this further - 01639 881635.
