Higher Oxhey Farm in Denshaw, high on Saddleworth moor, is home to our own Llama Trekking Centre and Animal Farm. Over the years we have expanded the Farm and it now happily houses many rare breed animals.

We have been developing quite an unusual business over the last few years and would now like to reach a wider base. In brief we run treks from our farm in Saddleworth whereby groups of walkers get to see the fantastic moors and visit the delightful villages that make up Saddleworth, all the while leading our lovely llamas, which in turn carry their belongings.

There is a choice of routes and destinations and our walks can be designed to accommodate picnics or stops at coffee shops and country pubs. The duration of the walks and difficulty level can also be tailored to suit the walker's needs and some are particularly suited to children.

Our llamas have been trained to be comfortable with people and they are very gentle animals. They are very quiet but sometimes make a delightful humming noise when "talking" to each other.
