1. Llama Lland
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 124 reviews
Nestled in the centre of the Cornish countryside only three miles from Truro, Llama Lland is set within our 140-acre farm. This farm has been in the Tripp family for over one hundred years. Established in 2001, Llama Lland is renowned for its quality and enjoyment factor. Due to the growing popularity in Llamas and being a one of a kind business in Cornwall, Llama Lland has become a sought-after attraction for those looking for a natural experience in the beautiful countryside. The friendly, relaxed atmosphere makes Penare Farm the perfect place for a peaceful walk with our Llamas. With the surrounding hills and amazing views your experience will be fun and enjoyable!

Definitely a unique experience visiting Llama Land. After mistakenly arriving at the wrong farm 200 yards away, we called Tom who directed us to the entrance. Seems its a common issue, but one he is looking to resolve. Tom introduced himself and set out the plan for the 3 hour experience. He then led us to the main barn where the Llamas were waiting patiently. He passionately explained the names and personalities of each llama and tried to match you up for the walk with a llama that fitted your personality and confidence with handling the animals. On the lovely cross-country walk (wellies or good walking boots advised!) we were kept entertained by our own and each others llama's - as well as Tom's amusing stories! After the walk, we were taken to another section of the farm to meet the other female llamas and the baby ones, and spent some time learning about the breeding and their names and habits - Tom is clearly very passionate about what he does. After this we were led to a larger barn, which is clearly being converted into a cafe/picnic area where he had laid on sandwiches, salads, scones and other snacks - all included in the price. It was a brilliant 3 hours, and although initially we had wondered about the price tag, Tom works really hard to make sure you get value for money. It would be great to see this experience grow but hopefully also retain it's unique feel. Thanks Tom!

A circular walk in a designated Area of Outsanding Natural Beauty on the creeks of the Fal river network, settled by Celtic monks where the ruin of a huge mediaeval church still towers above the trees. 4.2 miles. Steepness: moderate.

Recommended to visit this park if we had time by the lady in the tourist office. We took the walk to the park which is about a mile from the centre of Truro. It was a lovely walk and the park is very well provided with toilets and refreshment facilities. After a short rest and a coffee we went back to the City to continue to explore. The view of the Cathedral from here is excellent, as Truro is quite low level it dominates City.

Another visit to this lovely little cove; it has everything you need a couple of car parks, life guards, Dog friendly, cafes, bars and shops. Did I mention the gorgeous stunning scenery and clean crisp surf..... The village of St Agnes itself sprawls down the steep valley and its worth taking a stroll all the way down!

Told about this park by the lady in the tourist office. Interesting access through a passage near the courts. This is a beautiful garden on the side of a hill. The centre point is what I believe is a Victorian bandstand, however, there are a number of interesting sculptures and a floral display/memorial of a spitfire. We sat and enjoyed our picnic here - there were toilets available in the part at the lower entrance.
