Exploring in winter
The palette of dazzling colour around the estate is beginning to look more subdued as winter takes hold, but you can still enjoy exploring off the beaten track to come across secret paths, crunch frosty leaves underfoot and take in the natural beauty of the changing seasons.
Top five places to play at Killerton
There are all sorts of places to play at Killerton, from woods to parkland. Here are five of the best places to play when you visit, but the opportunities for a fun and playful visit are endless.
1. The Clump den building
After an adventurous climb up to the top of the Clump - the highest point at Killerton - you'll find a den building area where you can test your skills.
2. Sparrow Park
Two fallen veteran trees are a great place for clambering and climbing. Look out for big fungi growing on them in autumn and winter.
3. Swings
Keep your eyes open for swings as you explore the park. We often move them to new places, so ask in visitor reception for their latest location.
4. Park Wood den building
The more adventurous visitor might enjoy a walk to Park Wood where they will discover a secluded den building site. It makes a great place for a family afternoon creating the perfect forest shelter.
5. The lost house
It's an adventurous walk to the lost house but a great place for young imaginations and budding archaeologists.
