Visitors can take a walk with a difference with a herd of woolly alpacas at a Lake District estate.

Alpacaly Ever After has teamed up with Lingholm Estate to offer alpaca walks along the shore of Derwentwater.

Visitors can get meet 12 male alpacas, take them for a paddle in the lake and help out at feeding time.

The 90-minute walks include paths once walked by Beatrix Potter during her many holidays at Lingholm in the late 19th century, past the newly created Victorian walled garden on the site of the original kitchen garden featured in The Tale of Peter Rabbit.

Then it’s down to the scenic shore as the route continues through Lingholm’s private grounds, bordered by woodlands and towering crags.
