Skiddaw View Holiday Home Park

Our Animals

In addition to our range of holiday homes we also have a range of... animals from ferrets to alpacas, all of which have their own personalities and quirks. We love them all and we're sure that you will too.

All together we have: 2 Ferrets (Eddie & Sydney), 3 Alpacas (Jenson, Felix & Fidel) and 12 Jacob sheep. Here you can see more information about each including videos.

Alpacas

Jenson

  • Jenson (male) was born on June 26, 2009. He was born self assured was up and racing around from birth. He is very confident and is especially close to Fidel (his half brother) and does not like to be parted from him. Jenson also really like to meet new people and eating grass out of your hand.

Felix

  • Felix (male) was born on 29 June 2009 is the shyest of the three (even though he is the oldest!) he's also the biggest baby and really likes to be around Fidel and Jenson. However he really doesn’t like to be around Fidel and Jenson when they are play fighting.

Fidel

  • Fidel (male) was born on 9 July 2009 and despite being the youngest of the three he is defiantly the most confident, however much of the time this is just bravado. He like to keep Jenson and Felix in sight but he is more likely to go it alone. Fidel is also the half brother of Jenson.

Jacob Sheep

  • All of our sheep are a rare breed know as Jacob, the flock consists of six adult females and one ram (Buster) and 5 female lambs. The sheep really like feeding time and new visitors. Buster the ram got his name after we invited visitors to the park to suggest a name for him when he first came to us. Unfortunately (for him!), Buster doesn’t get to spend the whole of the year with the other sheep but during the summertime he doesn’t mind being a honorary alpaca.

Milly

  • During the creation of our new website, sadly Milly passed away. She was 17 years old (a very old for a pygmy goat).

  • Milly's pen with her blue house was located next to the entrance of Skiddaw View Holiday Park. Milly liked fruit (particularly banana skins), plants, lots of attention and the chance to explore the park, however she never liked being brushed, dogs, oranges or onions.

  • Milly will be missed by staff and visitors to Skiddaw View.
