An alpaca farm less than an hour's drive from Manchester is planning to build glamping pods, giving families the chance to stay over for a short getaway. Lowland Farm, in Westby With Plumptons, Lancashire, already offers visits and farm experiences to families and SEND children.
Now, the family-run businesses hopes to expand its offerings, reports LancsLive. Plans have been submitted to Fylde Borough Council for overnight accommodation on the site.
The farm, located near Blackpool and Lytham St Annes, covers 50 acres of grassland. It also produces hay to feed its animals, which include ponies, donkeys, sheep, chickens and, of course, alpacas. Visitors can meet the alpacas such as Hugo, Herbert, Hector and Huckleberry, attend craft sessions and children's parties, or head out on therapeutic walks.
