Llamas and alpacas are kept specifically for their wool quality and social temperament.
The park is located on the edge of the historic Ashdown Forest, the setting for the Hundred Acre Wood in A.A. Milne's Winnie-the-Pooh books.
The onsite shop specializes in garments made from alpaca fiber, which is known for being hypoallergenic and warmer than sheep's wool.
The Llama Park is a countryside attraction situated in the Ashdown Forest area, specializing in the keeping and education of llamas and alpacas. The site features extensive parkland and paddocks where visitors can observe and interact with these South American camelids. Beyond the animal enclosures, the park offers a dedicated playground for children and an on-site shop selling wool products and gifts. It serves as an educational venue focused on the husbandry and temperament of llamas, alpacas, and other livestock. The location provides accessible walking paths throughout the grounds suitable for families. The facility is situated within the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
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.
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.
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.
The park may operate on reduced or seasonal schedules during winter months; always check for updates regarding public holiday closures.
Do not feed the animals human food; follow all posted signage regarding animal contact and wash hands after touching livestock.
