About Goat Walking
When you book a goat walk your walk will be a private experience for your group only.
They are not mixed public sessions so you get real quality time to enjoy them.
On the walk all goats will start off on the lead until we get into the valley where they like to be let off and follow along side us.
We’ll walk through our beautiful wild valley taking in the views and the wild flowers. You may see various birds including yellow hammers, skylarks and buzzards.
The walk is leisurely as the goats will have lots of stops for nibbles along the way. During the winter we may take different routes to mix it up a bit so the goats can find some yummy ivy.
Accessibility
The valley terrain isn’t suitable for wheelchairs but mobility scooters will do fine. If someone is in a wheel chair we can adapt the walk to a flatter route or a smaller walk and more time in the field with them as long as you don’t mind them climbing on you or Custard nibbling your hair!
Custard, Mustard, Carrot and Parsnip are super friendly so love strokes and cuddles. This gives you a real opportunity to get up close and see their fun cheeky characters. Upon return to their field you will feed them a variety of nibbles and if you like you can give them a brush too which they love.
For Younger Children
2023 we have Yin and Yang our pygmy goats. Accompanied by Carrot. These are the goats we use for walks with children younger than 8 as the other goats see little ones as little baby goats and get a bit boisterous.
