Christmas Alpaca Walks Hampshire at Itchen Valley Country Park

December at Itchen Valley Country Park has a magic that no other season quite matches — bare oak boughs frosted white, the Itchen Navigation catching low winter light, and a herd of Hensting alpacas draped in their thickest fleeces waiting to walk beside you. A Christmas alpaca walk makes a genuinely original alternative to the usual festive day-out — adults and children alike find that walking with alpacas in winter creates the kind of unhurried, outdoors memory that has nothing to do with shopping centres or screens. We offer Christmas alpaca walks throughout December, including weekends in the run-up to the 25th, and gift vouchers that can be redeemed any time — making them a perfect present for someone who already has everything.

What Your Walk Includes

  • Personal alpaca companion — you lead your own alpaca along the full route
  • Expert handlers throughout — safety training, alpaca behaviour, local history
  • Ancient woodland route — through Itchen Valley's 440 acres of Green Flag countryside
  • Feeding & close encounters — hands-on time with the wider herd
  • All ages welcome — children 3+, infants in carriers, accessible sessions available
