It was lovely dry and sunny day, so I headed down to Devon to visit a couple of National Trust properties. I headed down the M5 first to Knightshayes and after visiting there I drove down to Killterton.
I have visited Killerton twice before, once in June 2023 and then again in May 2025.
It’s a lovely house which is dressed as a 1920s house, though the first floor is an exhibition area for the National Trust’s fashion collection.
Killerton
A family home and a great estate. Glorious landscape garden surrounded by parkland with fine 18th-century house.

Upon arrival I headed to the Killerton Kitchen Cafe for some lunch.
After lunch I went into the house itself and enjoyed exploring the different rooms and chatting with the volunteers.
I did have a look at the fashion exhibition upstairs, mainly I think to walk up and down the staircase. I then did another tour of the house.
After enjoying my walk around the house, I went for a walk in the grounds.
This year I have planned to visit fifty places (as I did last year). Each time I visit a place I will post a blog post and some photographs. I can’t repeat places, and in an extra twist I can’t use the fifty places I visited in 2025 in the list as well which is why Killerton is not my on my #50places26 list.
