West Wight Alpacas was established back in 2010 by husband and wife duo, Neil and Michelle Payne. What started out as a hobby quickly became a popular attraction where visitors for a small charge can take the friendly and inquisitive Suri alpacas or llamas on a guided walking adventure.

Today, the farm is home to over 70 very cute alpacas, plus many other animals including llamas, donkeys, pygmy goats and chickens. Neil and Michelle are award-winning Suri alpaca breeders with countless awards and championships under their belts. Alpaca fleece is much sought after and is known to be some of the most luxurious in the world.

Visitors can enjoy a leisurely stroll around the farm with these adorable animals - you'll soon get to know your cushing from your pronking! Alternatively, you can admire the fine views, watch the llamas do their thing or drop into the farm café and shop.

Entry to the farm is FREE with any purchased Walking Activity or Llama Agility and entry to The Llama Tree bistro is also FREE.
