We currently have seven llamas (from the top) Lenny, Blackjack, Polo and these represent the core of our Llama walking business. Merlin who joined us in 2010 at seven months old and is now being trained to carry packs.

Lenny is about 12 years old and has been trekking in the Dartmoor National Park for many years.  Polo and Blackjack are now nearly six years old, Polo has been trained to carry a pack, Blackjack is still thinking about it, he is not quite as keen as Polo.

We also have two female llamas, Georgina & Jazz who we re-homed.  In 2010 Jazz produced a stunning male cria who we have named Murphy, he is sired by a lovely stud llama called Warrior, Murphy is being train now and has joined the trekking team, he will be carrying a full pack this summer

We have a selection of walks across stunning areas of the Moor.  The routes are gentle and easy walking whilst the llamas carry the refreshments.  The most popular walk seems to be the Cream Tea Walk which lasts approx 3  hours.  If you are unable to walk far we can organise taster sessions where we bring the llamas to you at the cottages and you are able to spend time with them. If you are interested in knowing more about our llamas or our walks please do not hesitate to ask us or see our leaflet in the attractions file.

Llamas are a member of the Camelid family. They do not have hooves; each foot has two toes with soft pads. Llamas can be described as pony size, although lighter approx 120-150Kg.  They are not just white, but come in a great variety of colours from white to black with many shades in between. There are 35 different colours.  They are gentle intelligent and highly trainable.  They are very hardy as they come from a harsh climate, high up in the Andes.  They eat less than sheep on a weight ratio basis and are they are relatively resistant to disease found in UK livestock.

Grass is the staple diet of a Llama, although they will nibble fresh hedgerow plants etc, they are not like goats however and will not stay to strip a tree.

There is more information about llamas available from the British Llama Society
