Bluecaps Llamas


Welcome to the home of Bluecaps Llamas in East Sussex, situated in Cousley Wood near Wadhurst.

We offer a range of llama trekking options in the lovely East Sussex countryside, plus we sell our luxurious designer alpaca knitwear, as well as a range of llama and alpaca halters, grooming tools and accessories. In addition, stud llamas and guard llamas are available for hire.

We are surrounded by the beautiful countryside of the High Weald and, of course, we are neighbours of the extremely picturesque Bewl Water.

We are very pleased to announce that we have recently bought the fabulous herd of ‘Maplehurst Llamas’ from Pam Walker, who is giving up llama breeding due to her ill-health. We now have an additional 27 llamas that carry some of the oldest lines in this country.

Even more exciting is the fact that the herd includes twin llama boys (pictured right) who were born in September 2007. It is very rare that llama twins are born with the odds being approximately 1 in 30,000! They are called Inca and Aztec and very jolly little personalities they are too.

Apart from the Maplehurst Llamas, we also have two quality llama studs of yet another fine line and they are extremely big boned with oodles of presence. Their offspring is also for sale.

Last year, 2007, was not a good year for showing llamas, as many shows were cancelled due to concerns over foot and mouth disease and bluetongue. However, before the cancellations, we managed to attend a couple of shows and are very pleased that our ‘Bluecaps Cilla’ took Reserve Champion at Kent County Show. We had various other placings but are looking forward to the showing season this year. Bluetongue is still causing problems but all being well we will be back on the circuit. Fingers crossed!
