👍👍 The Alpacas’ are cared for so much by the family business. Our experience began with a briefing on how to handle the Alpacas’, before being paired and walking a wonderful countryside route through woodland paths.

Holcombe Hill
Hiking area
👍👍 Other than a brief visit in 2011, this was a favourite old haunt (hike) in my student days in the late '80's, and despite the overcast weather, the moderate trek up to Peel Tower surpassed expectations. Astonishing views (shame the pictures don't do them justice) plus could still make out Blackpool...
