Tripadvisors Number 1 Thing To Do in The Lakes!
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.
Stroll at super relaxed alpaca pace through the private grounds of the estate where Beatrix Potter spent many summers. Get to know our wonderful alpacas up close while they snack along the way, take them for a paddle in the lake, meet the herd and ask as many questions as you can think of!
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
The Octagonal walled garden sits on the same spot as the old Lingholm Kitchen gardens which Beatrix Potter credited as her inspiration for Mr McGregor’s garden in The Tale of Peter Rabbit.
The stunning Lingholm Kitchen looks down onto an octagonal walled garden built in a Victorian style using reclaimed materials.
The Kitchen Offers delicious locally sourced meals, real barista coffee and an extensive range of teas, alongside artisan breads and home baked cakes made in the onsite bakery now open to visitors. All our latest alpacaly gifts, knits, knitting kits, wonders and delights are now available to purchase in the gorgeous gift shop!
A short stroll down the drive takes you to a footpath leading to Catbells, one of the most famous lakeland walks ,and in the other direction to the boat launch to Keswick. So you can combine your alpaca walk with a mountain climb or a boat trip!
What an amazing experience, I would recommend this to anyone, young, old, fit, unfit just try it. It was everything I was hoping and more!
