   Catanger Llama Trekking

   This is a really unique attraction and certainly worth a visit in our opinion. Established in 1995 and situated in the heart of the Northamptonshire countryside this attraction will appeal to those looking for something a little different. You can't ride the animals but you can trek alongside them and enjoy the fantastic scenery. From farm tracks to country lanes the gentle animals will carry your rucksack for you along the way. There are personally guided treks available all year round and you will have your own Llama for the trek.
