Alpacas Welcome!

People arriving at Brompton Lakes are amazed to see our three new resident alpacas Apollo, Jack and Inca. They are creating lots of interest and seem very happy in their new home.

Normally indigenous to South America, living at altitude in the Andes, they stand about 3 feet to the shoulder and are gentle by nature. Alpacas are bred for their soft, lightweight and lustrous fibre; so expect to see a new range of Brompton Lakes knitwear next season!

We are also pleased to announce the recent hatching of five cygnets. Our local swans have been nesting on the island for the last month and can now be gliding elegantly around the lake with their young ones in tow, usually begging for food!

Introducing Grant

Grant Carnegie-Brown has recently joined Brompton Lakes as General Manager.
He was previously a Major in the Royal Logistics Corps before a stint in the construction industry and was originally attracted to the role through his interest in green technology. Living nearby with his wife Mary who is a GP locally, and their three young children, Grant is busy immersing himself in his new role and learning the ins and outs of the organisation. He is keen to enhance the “Brompton Lakes Experience” , develop the facilities and continue to offer first class service to our guests.
