Falmouth University students experienced a new kind of therapy this afternoon when Llamas were brought onto Penryn Campus.

Tom Tripp, the owner of Llama Lland farm, was invited onto the campus to light up students days with three of his Llamas.

The Llamas he brought were named Merlyn, Max the Vicar and Hyper Piper.

Students were invited to walk the animals around the University grounds, with large crowds gathering outside of the lecture theatres to interact with them.

Speaking to Nub News, Tom Tripp, said:

"We are absolutely blown away at the response from the students. It's been a fantastic day here at the University.

"I've been really shocked at how many people have been so interested. It's a real delight".

Llama Lland is based just outside of Truro and is the only place in Cornwall that offers guided Llama walks. Established back in 2001, it has become a must-see attraction of the County.

Today wasn't the first time the Llamas had left the farm, as Tom offers his Llama experiences to nursing homes, weddings and other events.
