About us

Thorn alpacas came into being when I purchased one pregnant Huacaya and a companion Suri in 2007. From then on I  was totally enchanted with these inquisitive, gentle and funny animals, and have gradually increased the herd to twenty! Their fleece colours range from black, grey, brown to light fawn. All the alpacas are regularly handled, inspected, vaccinated and halter trained. They are registered with the British Alpaca Society and the South West Alpaca Group. Most of the herd have been shown over the years and won rosettes at  Devon County, Bath and West, Three Counties Malvern and Somerset County shows. Thorn Alpacas have also raised funds for local causes. Our knitwear is solely from Thorn alpacas and is spun locally or in a mini mill in Scotland and it is knitted locally in Devon.  

Show History

Enjoy some of our pictures from shows we have attended. Over the years we have had great success at Devon County and Bath & West and Three Counties shows. They are always interesting if you are an Alpaca enthusiast.

Clarence Cottage, once a threshing barn, is set within a small group of converted farm buildings in a delightful, secluded valley surrounded by rolling Devon farmland just minutes from the superb coastline of this very special part of South Devon. This charming, detached and tastefully decorated cottage is ideal for two, and is a very peaceful and attractive spot to escape to. Set in a wonderful rural location, walkers will delight at the coastal paths nearby, and there is ample opportunity to explore Dartmouth with its river boat trips, excellent restaurants, and boutique shops - or idle days away on the beautiful beaches nearby. With a level lawn area, planted banks, and a garden table and chairs opposite the front door, It's an ideal spot for enjoying the evening sun setting over the valley below and watching the alpacas in the paddock.
