Pinpoint
Killerton, Exeter EX5 3LB
Killerton is a Georgian house set into a Devon hillside, built as the family seat of the Aclands rather than a showpiece for outsiders, which shows in its comfortable, lived-in feel. The garden climbing the slope behind it is the main draw, with mixed woodland and open lawns giving long views over the estate. There isn't a review base here to draw on yet, but the notes point to a classic National Trust pairing of house and hillside garden.
Worth the trip
The hillside garden itself, laid out to take advantage of the slope with views back over the Devon countryside.
