Valentine's Day Alpaca Walk Hampshire — Walk with Alpacas at Award-Winning Itchen Valley Country Park

Itchen Valley Country Park is one of Hampshire's finest outdoor destinations — 440 acres of ancient woodland and riverside meadows that has earned 16 consecutive Green Flag Awards. It is also home to Hensting Alpacas, offering guided alpaca walks from £32 per person with experienced handlers, all ages welcome, and advance booking available online 24/7.

Walk with Baby Alpacas — Cria Available on Morning Walks

Our adorable 2026 baby alpacas — Daisy, Dandelion, Meadowsweet and Chamomile — are available to walk on selected morning sessions from February through to July. Baby alpaca walks sell out fastest of all our sessions, so early booking is strongly recommended.

Why Valentine's Day Alpaca Walk Hampshire at Hensting Alpacas Is Special

Valentine's Day alpaca walks at Hensting Alpacas have become one of Hampshire's most talked-about alternatives to the standard restaurant-and-flowers formula — and it's not hard to see why. There is something about leading a large, fleecy, gently demanding animal through river meadows in February that immediately strips away any awkwardness and replaces it with laughter. Alpacas are naturally curious and affectionate with the people they walk alongside; they have been known to lean their heads on shoulders, investigate coat pockets, and hum softly when content. Couples consistently tell us it is the most fun they've had on a Valentine's date. We offer dedicated couple and small-group slots throughout the first and second weeks of February.

The Walk Route

Your 2-hour walk follows a circular route through Itchen Valley's ancient woodland and water meadows, alongside the historic River Itchen. The route is level and accessible, with surfaced pathways throughout. You will walk through landscape that has been protected and managed for over 40 years — one of the finest country park settings in southern England.
