The herd

Meet the llamas

12 llamas call Hill House home, a herd of home-born youngsters and rescued, rehomed adults. Every one is known by name.

Why our herd is different

Rescued, rehomed & truly known

Because llamas are herd animals, we've always offered a home to unwanted animals in need of rehoming through the British Llama Society. That means our herd is a genuine mix, from confident show champions alongside gentle souls who've had a harder start.

Several of our llamas have built up real experience on camera, with appearances for BBC Children in Need, BBC The One Show and a Channel 4 documentary. They're well trained, well handled and very used to people.
