Wildwood Alpacas
About This Museum
Tucked away in the verdant Shropshire countryside, Wildwood Alpacas feels less like a formal museum and more like a delightful, living tapestry of rural life. It began as a simple passion project for its owners, evolving organically into the charming destination it is today. The real stars of the show are, of course, the alpacas themselves—a gentle herd whose curious hums and soft fleece create an unexpectedly soothing soundtrack. A visit here is an immersive step into a slower, more tactile world.
Collection Highlights
The main attraction is the resident herd of Huacaya alpacas, each with distinct personalities and luxuriously thick fleece in shades from classic fawn to inky black. You can't miss the on-site felting demonstrations that transform their raw fibre into beautiful, tactile artworks. The 'Meet the Herd' experience is an unmissable highlight, allowing for up-close encounters that are both playful and profoundly calming.
Visitor Information
It's wise to book your 'alpaca experience' in advance, especially for weekend walks. Wear sturdy shoes as the paths are charmingly rustic and can get muddy. The staff are wonderfully knowledgeable, more like passionate hosts than tour guides, ready to share stories about every animal.
Architecture & Building
The setting is a classic English farmstead, with weathered brick barns and practical outbuildings nestled amongst rolling paddocks. It’s authentically functional rather than designed for show, which adds immensely to its unpretentious, pastoral charm.
