Killerton
About
Killerton House is a stunning 18th‑century Georgian mansion set amidst 6,400 acres of rolling Devon countryside, famed for its spectacular formal gardens and historic woodland. The National Trust has preserved the house as a comfortable home, displaying an exceptional collection of 18th‑to‑20th‑century costumes and an ever‑changing fashion exhibition that showcases the legacy of the Acland family. Visitors can stroll through the rhododendron‑covered gardens, explore the ancient Iron Age hill fort on Dolbury, or take a leisurely walk around the parkland, all within the same estate. The family‑friendly house, combined with easy access for pets and wheelchair users, makes Killerton an ideal destination for day visits and special events such as the annual Red Dress Project and seasonal Christmas celebrations.
