Hand feed our lovely herd of boys, take as many photographs as you like and have all your alpaca questions answered surrounded by the stunning grounds of the Lingholm Estate, on the shores of Derwent Water

Meet The Alpacas at The Lingholm Estate

And so it was once upon a time when The Lingholm Estate was the perfect place to live alpacaly ever after! Situated on the Western Shore of Derwentwater in a dramatic location, it is surrounded by incredible views of some of the best loved Lakeland fells.

As a Non-Profit Social Enterprise all the income from our activities goes back into supporting the work we do re-homing and rescuing alpacas and llamas, and providing free and subsidised activities for third sector organisations! For more information about the work we do have a look here
