Photo spot

The raised viewing points along the main paddock fences offer the best clear shots of the llama herds against the backdrop of the Sussex countryside.

Insider tips

Wear sturdy, waterproof footwear as the parkland can become muddy, especially after rain.

Check the official website for scheduled animal interaction times or seasonal trekking opportunities before departing.

Bring a camera, as the animals are often accustomed to human presence and offer close-up photographic opportunities.

What to avoid

Do not attempt to pet animals in enclosures marked as private or restricted, and avoid wearing open-toed shoes which are impractical for farm terrain.

Good to know

The park may operate on reduced or seasonal schedules during winter months; always check for updates regarding public holiday closures.

Etiquette

Do not feed the animals human food; follow all posted signage regarding animal contact and wash hands after touching livestock.
