Take A Llama For A Walk In Surrey

If you go down to the woods today you’re sure for a big surprise. Because not everybody is just a walking a dog as Rufus Thomas, The Rolling Stones and even The Grateful Dead would have you believe. No, anybody who is anybody these days is walking a llama instead.

Llamas are gentle, intelligent animals that were first domesticated in South America around 4,000 years ago. They were used as pack animals by the Incas for centuries and are increasingly popular companions for hikers around the world today.

Surrey Hills Llamas (telephone 01483 890 555) offer you the chance to spend some time walking with these beautiful animals in the North Downs around Ewhurst in Surrey - just 40 miles from London. It’s a designated Area Of Natural Beauty with llama walks tailored to meet the fitness and ability of those taking part.

The English Picnic Trek takes you through the beautiful Surrey hills with views right over the North Downs Way to the South Downs and on to the South Coast. The llamas carry the cool drinks and food while you lead them and enjoy the wildlife, flora and fauna. When a suitable point is reached, out come the chairs and you sit down for a delicious picnic. The price for adults is £40 per person with senior citizens costing £40 each and children £27. A family ticket for two adults and two children is also available for £140.

For those who prefer a stroll to the pub instead of a trek through the countryside, you can amble along the River Wey towpath with your llama. Your destination is the 16th century Olde Ship Inn at St. Catherine’s where you can enjoy a delicious pizza from the wood burning oven. Tuesday evenings at 6pm from May through to September, this one’s adults only and costs £25 a head including food.

And for chldren aged nine to 14 there’s something just for them too. A Birthday Party Llama Trek where you and your friends lead the friendly and cuddly llamas through lanes and woodland until you find the perfect spot for a birthday picnic. On the way back the llamas like to have a run through the fields so you’ll need to hold on to your hats! The fun lasts an hour and a half and costs £18 a head including party grub.
