We spent an amazing day at the farm, getting to know llamas and taking them for a walk. It was my first llama trekking experience and I absolutely loved it.
Catanger llamas are very friendly and well trained, it's such a pleasure walking with them through the woods, enjoying beautiful nature and fresh air. I had a walk with Emoji and he definitely did everything to keep a smile on my face :)
Sarah is a perfect guide, knowlegable and full of interesting stories.
Farm dogs are very friendly too, especially little Lenny.
Thank you, Catanger Llamas, we'll definitely be back.

What a wonderful time we had trekking with llamas.
Sarah gave us a very informative talk beforehand, then showed us how to hold the llama reins, then we set off for the most idyllic walk in the countryside. We shared one llama between two - which was ideal as we could swap around. It is all very relaxed.
On our return we saw the young llamas, and then had our own picnic at the picnic tables. Sarah said we could stay as long as we liked and there was no pressure to leave.
There are toilets on site, plus a gift shop.
All very lovely and we will defo go again.
I would say this is a great trip for all ages, but not for anyone who can't walk far (and not suitable for buggies or wheelchairs - although there may be a different route for those on wheels).

I bought a llama trek ticket for my husband and the two of us headed off to Weedon Lois near Towcester in Northants and met the charming Sarah Brown and informative farm owner Mary who introduced a group of us (about 8 people) to our llamas. We learnt a lot and had great fun getting to know our respective animals - they all have different personalities. The walk flew by and we left grinning from ear to ear. Highly recommend to anyone - kids need to be 7 years + and you need to be able to walk across farmland at a reasonably brisk pace for 2 hours but ask Sarah if you have particular needs. She is super-helpful and friendly.

We went for the half-day llama trek and felt we had a good amount of time with the llama, very knowledgable guide and the whole experience felt very structured and enjoyable. They don't spit!

We did the farm trek, which is one hour long and we had one llama each. This experience is incredibly fun. If you like to trek and get some fresh air and exercise, you'll enjoy it so much more with a llama in hand. They are so beautiful and it's amazing how they make you feel and how calm and enjoyable the walk is when it's with them. Sarah was our guide and she was both friendly and knowledgeable. She made the booking process really easy and clearly loves what she does for a living. An added bonus of being at the farm is that the owner has three dogs, which are playful and adorable. It really is a beautiful place to visit and you'll be surprised at how good you're made to feel whilst trekking with such amazing animals.

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you, we are unfortunatley not on a bus route. Our nearest train station is Banbury and then you would need to get a taxi, we are about 25 minutes away from Banbury. I hope that helps

Half-day trek for 2 people with 2 llamas is £95. Extra people are £50 each. You may find that two llamas are sufficient if your children are quite young. You buy a voucher and then phone or email to arrange which day you want. Have a look at their website for more details.

Good morning, thank you for your enquiry. If you could send me some more information regarding your family group llama trek. We can tailor a trek to suit your group. How many people would you be thinking of having? Also do you have any dates in mind so I can check the availability for you and see what we can do on this day? If you can email me this information to me I will reply with all the relevant information about what we can do and the different options, along with prices.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.

How much is a visit and do I need to book, thinking of Saturday 11th July x
Catanger Llamas

Good evening and thank you for your question.
The price depends on how many people and which trek you would like to do. We do an on farm trek and a half day experience, both start and end the same! We start off in our visitors centre with half an hour of llama information and instruction on handling before meeting your llamas and heading out on your trek, The half day experience takes us across country, through arable, pasture and woodland. The trek covers approx. 3.5 miles taking around 2 hours. The on farm trek is a one hour trek taking us through specially mown rides in our 20 acre native woodland at Catanger Farm. Once we return to the farm we will take you to see the mothers and their babies and you are more than welcome to bring a picnic to enjoy at the farm after your trek. Weather permitting, we have picnic benches over looking the llama paddocks or you can eat inside the visitors centre. Our visitors centre houses our small ‘Llamarabilia’ gift shop area of goods that we make out of our very own llama fibre and some South American goodies too!
To give you a rough idea on price:
for two people with two llamas doing the on farm trek is 65.00
for two people with two llamas doing the half day trek is 95.00
Unfortunately we are fully booked this Saturday 11th July but do have availability the following weekend of the 18/19th. If this is not suitable for you then please let me know some alternative dates that you are free and I can check the availability for you as you do need to book in advance.
Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you soon.
