Welcome to

Ashtonelle Alpacas

for love, fun and fibre

With views of Scotland, the Isle of Man and the Mountains of Mourne Ashtonelle Alpacas is a working farm situated in a beautiful and unique spot on the Ards Peninsula of Co. Down. Here our award-winning alpacas graze peacefully and happily in 16 acres of lush pastures, overlooking idyllic countryside and the old ring fort (rath) that lends the name to Fort Hill Farm.

Established in 2013, Ashtonelle Alpacas is a small pedigree herd of huacaya alpacas based on prize-winning genetics from around the world. Family run, we breed and own alpacas on our alpaca farm for the sheer joy of spending time with such charming and charismatic animals, whilst also using the luxurious fibre they produce in a range of hand-crafted and hand-knitted items.

All our much loved alpacas are registered with the British Alpaca Society and we are also members of the Northern Ireland Alpaca Group and the Alpaca Association of Ireland
