UK Llamas - Brit Valley Trek
UK Llamas - Brit Valley Trek
This is a unique offer appealing to both young families and those who want to discover the beautiful scenery of Dorset from a very different perspective. We have teamed up with Britain’s leading UK Llama Centre near Beaminster to produce an unforgettable experience.
Walking with llamas through the county’s stunning, gentle valleys or high up along the spectacular coastline is simply an experience that will stay you forever. Llamas simply add an entire new dimension to walking. They are incredibly sensitive creatures capable of sensing wildlife that most of us would simply miss. Their eyes and ears are at the same height as ours which means when they sense something…..so can you.
But it’s their personalities that will win you over. Each is different and has an uncanny way of connecting with you. Even the most sceptical are won over. Llamas are undoubtedly one of nature’s most gentle creatures – inquisitive, intuitive and with a sense of humour. They go through life at their own pace and absolutely never harm us. On a practical level, llamas remove some of the tedium of walking. How many times do you wish you hadn’t brought so much ‘stuff’ on a walk when all you want to do is take in everything around you? Llamas literally carry excessive baggage and literally lighten the load. For families who have done the regular children’s entertainment, a two-day visit to the Llama Centre while staying at the BridgeHouse ensures that everyone can enjoy something completely different.
While other children will talk about their 20th visit to a theme park, yours can talk about a once in a lifetime experience. Adults can also rest in the knowledge that after a day’s trekking a totally memorable night’s stay awaits them in a luxury bedroom at the hotel along with sumptuous, West Dorset food served in either our fine dining restaurant or al fresco in the hotel’s brand new, family friendly brasserie. So, come and join us on an unforgettable adventure you will treasure forever. Prices:
2 Day Full Board Package:
2 Adults/2 Nights: £560 (High Season); £500 (Low Season)
1 Child/2 Nights: £100 (High Season); £76 (Low Season).
Package includes Dinner, B&B, llama trek/activity both days; picnic lunch/drinks; transport between llama centre and hotel. Subject to restrictions and availability.
