Alpaca & llama Trekking
Alpaca treks are back up and running from December the 5th!
Sheffield is still in Tier 3 risk category for Covid-19 and while the treks are continuing to run, there are a couple of changes to help reduce the risk of spreading covid. Please read all of the following information before booking a trek
First, if you live outside the South Yorkshire region the government guidance advises against travel into a Tier 3 area. We don’t know your location so we leave it to your discretion. Please email if you think you should cancel your trek booking and we will give you a full refund (or re-instate your voucher).
Second, we strongly recommend wearing a face mask during the trek, unless you find this very uncomfortable or have health reasons for not wearing one. This helps protect yourself and other people. We try to maintain 2m social distancing but sometimes lapses can occur, especially when handling large animals.
Take our gorgeous alpacas and llama for a walk through the stunning woodlands of Rivelin Valley and the country lanes around Holly Hagg Community Farm, Sheffield. Our lovely gentle animals make this a truly enjoyable and memorable experience – but don’t just take our word for it, check out our customer reviews over on the right →
We offer a range of tickets to suit animal lovers of all ages, but you must be moderately fit as you will be leading a large animal along rough paths with some steep and rocky bits that can be slippery and muddy in places. The whole experience takes about an hour and a half in total.
- On arrival you’ll be welcomed with an introduction to the herd, shown how to hand feed them and given a safety briefing before being matched up with your perfect trekking partner.
- Our trained guides then take you through the beautiful scenery and woodlands around our community farm.
- The trek lasts about an hour with plenty of stops for feeding, taking in the scenery and photography.
You will find a links to our booking pages below. If you plan to bring children it is vital you go to the booking page for trekking with children to make sure you get the right ticket for you.
Social distancing at Holly Hagg
Government guidance on Covid-19 allows us to continue trekking, provided it is done safely.
For the time being we will run two treks a week – at 11am on Saturdays and 11am on Tuesdays – this leaves 3 days between treks to reduce any risk of contamination. To avoid overcrowding in confined spaces ticket sales will be limited to mostly one person per alpaca, with only one or two shared tickets avilable per trek.
We have thought carefully about how to limit contamination through the touching of equipment. We have devised various ways to reduce cross-contamination such as using bio-degradable disposable food bags as well as sanitising and washing all equipment between treks. Trek guides will wear a plastic visor and wash their hands thoroughly and frequently. Trekkers will be asked to wash their hands on arrival or wear clean/new gloves. Masks are optional. You will be asked to confirm that you have no COVID-19 symptoms and there is a no quibble refund for anyone who feels unwell and cancels. For more information about our Covid-19 measures please see the Covid-19 FAQ page.
Please note – all bookings must go through our online booking system, we do not take bookings by email.
Sturdy footwear is a must!
Please wear sturdy shoes. The path is steep in places with uneven ground, loose stones and some mud.
Directions to Holly Hagg
It’s hard to find us without our directions sheet as sat nav will lead you astray.

Santiago, who is known for his cheeky antics, was my friendly alpaca companion for today's walk. The Alpaca Trek, lead... by enthusiastic, entertaining and down-to-earth members of the Holly Hagg Community Farm, has been one of my favourite and unique experiences this year. It was a lovely route and I enjoyed having Santiago's company, despite him walking me round in circles when I got his food out and when he wanted to jump in the bushes and eat them at many points throughout the walk. These antics made the walk interesting and gave us something laugh about. It may have been the first time he had seen sheep too, which was adorable! Santiago allowed me to stroke his back, neck and head - he was so soft and cuddly!
The volunteers leading the trek were also very conscientious of social distancing guidelines and they followed those 'extra measures' to make sure everything was safe and healthy. I felt very comfortable with the set up and would definitely go again soon!read more

Family hours may have finished with the summer, but there are always people there on volunteer days so why not contact the team to ask about volunteering, to meet the 6 alpacas and Jefe the llama. Contact details above. Everyone involved is a volunteer - look up the alpaca treks. Any profit from alpaca treks funds the whole projectread more

Amazing experience out Llama trekking with the lovely Jeffe. Friendly staff/volunteers who are very knowledgeable about... the animals in their care, who I might add, are in beautiful condition. Lovely surroundings with some beautiful views. Some fairly steep inclines so you need to be of a reasonable fitness level and some of the ground is uneven so strong sensible footwear is a must. I would definitely recommend this activity for anyone who loves being outdoors. The Llama and Alpacas were all lovely with a little bit of adorable cheekiness thrown in. 😍read more

Fantastic experience, lovely volunteers/ handlers who are very knowledgeable about each animal.
We walked Jeffe the... llama and he is gorgeous 😍 but all the alpacas are just as wonderful too!
Lovely friendly nature with a little bit of cheeky thrown in.
Some of the walk is quite steep and uneven so you need to be relatively fit to keep up, but overall an enjoyable activity that anyone can take part in, whether you’re used to handling larger animals or not.
I will be recommending to family and friends.
Also, lovely views over Sheffield and part of the bridle way takes you through beautiful woodland.read more

Was a... great time, with good people. Claire and her team truly love their work and the animals, it really shows. The alpacas are lovely all different characters and cute to boot! (Those 'leg warmers')
Not only were Claire and her team caring and patient with the animals, they were kind and friendly to my son and I ( I have m.s and my son dyspraxia and we aren't the fittest!) my son struggled on one part of the walk, they were so understanding...thank you . Afterwards, even after being warn out, my son was calm and waxed lyrical about the experience , was very surprised by the whole experience and thoroughly enjoyed it.read more

As a family of five, we had a lovely time meandering around the footpaths of the Rivelin valley with our beautiful... fluffy friends in tow. Claire was a delight and super organized, it is great to see such a well-run venture, happy alpacas, home-grown produce and all fuelled by volunteers. A special mention needs to be made to want-to-be vet Tyrell - at just 15 he has been volunteering for over a year at Holly Hagg. He is extremely knowledgeable about the animals and a wealth of information, we enjoyed a very pleasant wander with his easy company - a real credit to the team.
Our Alpaca named Gordon was so well behaved and seemed to enjoy the trek immensely - such fantastic animals, it was super to learn so much about them.
In short, a super activity and the cost goes to ensuring these lovely animals are well cared for and have everything they need 🙂read more

Claire and her volunteers were lovely, well informed and very approachable. All of the alpacas were of a delightful... temperament and remarkably calm in yesterday's blustery weather. The trek was a great experience I'd definitely recommend, although I would remind those considering a walk that the ground is very often steep and/or uneven (and slippery in poor weather) so decent footwear is a must and you must be steady on your feet. I'm sure with all these five star reviews this will take off brilliantly, and I'm looking forward to returning! Thanks again to Claire who allowed us to join a later trek when we were unable to make the trek we had booked onto - we were so grateful to not have to miss out xxread more

Had an absolutely great time walking Santiago the Alpaca 🙂
We went for a scenic walk through the local woods with the... character that is Santiago. He wanted to be closed to his friend Teddy the alpaca, so as soon as he fell behind that he would skip to catch back up. The handlers where very friendly and approachable. They where always on had to give facts on Alpacas their habits and handling. Me and my partner shared Santiago walking duties. I thought it was fairly priced for a great adventure.read more

I volunteered at Holly Hagg on 10th May, 2017, as a student representative of The University of Sheffield. It was a... brilliant experience; honestly it was. Those who care for the land (including, but not limited to, Claire, Bill, Patrick and Steve) are kindly folk who are easy to talk to and highly appreciative of the support that volunteers provide. They were happy to answer all of my curious questions, and aided - with the help of their alpacas - in making the experience a pleasantly memorable one.

I have so much love in my heart for Holly Hagg Community Farm. Arrived early in the morning from Manchester for my... friend Georges birthday to meet the intensely lovely trainers who took us to help gather the Alpacas which was an insane experience! We felt immediately at ease which must have helped the Alpacas, I couldn't have hoped to be met by more knowledgeable and genuine people. We were briefed on how to walk the Alpacas, with plenty of breaks for photos. Each Alpaca has their own personality with Teddy being perfect for younger trekkers and Santiago - the rascal - better for more experienced handlers.
You really feel part of something here in the beautiful Sheffield countryside, and i'll be coming again to visit their little family. Big love from Jess and Georgeread more
