Llama Lland

Llama Lland is exactly what it says on the tin - a small zoo focused on llamas and alpacas near Killvose in Cornwall. You get to see the animals up close, and depending on what they're offering that day, you might handle them or feed them yourself. It's the sort of place where kids genuinely light up when they realise they can actually touch the creatures rather than just stare from behind a rope.

This works best for families with younger children - probably ages three to ten get the most from it. If your kids are into animals at all, an hour or two here breaks up a holiday nicely. Teenagers might find it a bit thin unless they're genuinely animal-mad. The llamas themselves are fairly calm and used to visitors, which makes the whole thing less stressful than some zoo experiences.

It's worth checking ahead for opening hours and admission prices, as details aren't widely published online. Being in Cornwall means you're well positioned for a caravan or glamping holiday - Monkey Tree Holiday Park is just 3.4 miles away, and there are several other decent options within five miles including Wrinklers Wood if you fancy something more upmarket. Treamble Valley and Tollgate Farm are solid family parks if you want more facilities.

Don't expect a full day's outing here. Pair it with a coastal walk or visit to one of the nearby beaches to make a proper afternoon of it. The weather in Cornwall being what it is, go on a dry day - llamas in drizzle aren't quite as charming.
