About

A family home and a great estate. Glorious landscape garden surrounded by parkland with fine 18th-century house. Would you give away your family home for your political beliefs? Sir Richard Acland did just that with his Killerton Estate in the heart of Devon, when he passed it on to the Trust in 1944. Today, you'll find a friendly Georgian house set in 2,600 hectares (6,400 acres) of working farmland, woods, parkland, cottages and orchards. There's plenty of calm space in the glorious garden, beautiful year-round with rhododendrons, magnolias, champion trees and formal lawns. You can explore winding paths, climb an extinct volcano, discover an Iron Age hill fort and take in distant views towards Dartmoor.

Gorgeous Grounds to be Adventurous

Killerton proved to be a wonderful place to tour on my mobility scooter. It was a dry day and I was able to navigate the grounds over paths of different surfaces and some grass. Staff and volunteers were very helpful, including the gardener opening a gate. The house isn't accessible but as a keen horticulturalist I enjoyed the fresh air and gardens.

Killerton House National Trust

Tramper available to do a 3 to 4 mile trail through fields and forest around the estate, as well as the formal gardens. Very enjoyable trail with great views over the countryside. Some gates so take someone to accompany you to open and close them.
