Hensting Alpacas was founded from a deep love for these gentle, curious creatures and a passion for bringing people closer to nature. Our walks take place at Itchen Valley Country Park, a beautiful setting perfect for an unforgettable alpaca adventure.
We have a friendly herd of over 30 alpacas, including young cria (baby alpacas) born right here. Every alpaca has their own unique personality — from shy to cheeky — making each walk a unique experience!
Enjoy a relaxing 90–120 minute stroll with your alpaca companion. Learn about their habits, personalities, and how to walk with them. Perfect for individuals, couples, and families alike.
Meet our adorable baby alpacas (crias) and enjoy a gentle walk at a slower pace. A wonderful experience especially for families and younger visitors. (Minimum age 8 years old.)
Try something different and walk one of our beautiful llamas! A unique experience offering a slightly larger, relaxed companion along the trails of the country park.
Alpacas are domesticated members of the camelid family, originating from South America. They are prized for their incredibly soft fleece and their gentle, intelligent nature.
Alpacas are very social animals who form strong bonds with their herd. Our herd at Hensting Alpacas has been carefully raised to be calm, friendly, and used to human interaction — making them perfect for walks.
Alpacas are also eco-friendly grazers with soft, padded feet that are gentle on the land, making them ideal for walking across natural countryside trails like ours.
We are based at Itchen Valley Country Park, a beautiful 440-acre natural parkland just outside Southampton. The park offers woodlands, meadows, and river walks, providing a stunning setting for your alpaca adventure.
Address: Itchen Valley Country Park, Allington Lane, West End, Southampton, SO30 3HQ
