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 when he gave it to the National 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.
Killerton is full of adventure for families, with plenty of space to walk, run and play. Check out the Killerton website for children’s activities and events. In nearby Broadclyst Village and nestled by the River Clyst sits Clyston Mill. one of the South West's last remaining watermills. Step back in time to discover how the mill harnessed the power of water to grind the farmer's grain.
