Killerton Horse Riding & Bridleway Information Evening

A talk for the local horse-riding community about current and upcoming access changes across the Killerton Estate.

  • Booking essential
  • Free event

We have several new areas of woodland creation across the estate, along with ongoing improvements to our existing bridleway network. With these changes happening, we’re keen to ensure that local horse riders feel informed, supported, and able to share their perspectives with us.

We are hosting a bridleway information evening on Tuesday 9 December in The Engine House at Killerton. Countryside Manager Tim Dafforn will be delivering a talk shortly after 6pm with estate updates, then the room will be open for drop-in questions and conversation with our team until 8pm. We hope that this will be a great opportunity to connect with our local horse-riders, understand more about your priorities and concerns, and is an opportunity for them to get important information about how we are managing access and nature in our countryside spaces.

Refreshments will be available and parking free of charge.

Event Structure: 6pm Arrival & Welcome 6:05-6:20pm Short Talk 6:20-8pm Drop-in Q&A and Discussion, maps etc on display.

Please book your place so we can have a idea of numbers.
