Situated on Pound Lane just outside Broseley in Shropshire, England, Mad House Farm offers a one-of-a-kind outdoor experience with Frankly Farm Tours’ Alpaca Meet & Greet. This hour-long encounter invites visitors to engage directly with a spirited herd of six female and three male alpacas, each with their own distinct personalities. Alpacas like Daisy, renowned for her carrot obsession; Whiskey, the elusive wanderer; and Loki, the proud selfie enthusiast, transform the visit into a lively and memorable interaction.
What sets this experience apart is its authentic farm setting—rugged yet peaceful farmland with panoramic views that encourage both relaxation and connection with nature. Unlike traditional wildlife viewing or large-scale animal attractions, this tour fosters a hands-on relationship where visitors feed, pet, and photograph these gentle animals while learning about their care, behavior, and significance in local agriculture.
