Elsewhere are magnificent stone stables and a Victorian Norman Revival chapel. The house is unpretentious outside, but inside downstairs has some grand rooms. The contents reflect country house life in the 1930\u2019s. Upstairs is the noted costume collection of Paulise de Busch. Outside, to one side of the house and above it, are magnificent gardens.  The former walled garden is now the car park. Nearby is a large Chapel.<br \/>\nThe house stands in a large estate, and elsewhere on it are the Marker\u2019s Cottage (NT) and Clyston Mill (NT), and Budlake Old Post Office (NT).  I don\u2019t recall that I saw these, but they have separate entries in the NT guidebook.<br \/>\nI recall that this was rather a tedious place to get to, despite its proximity to Exeter. No major roads run near the estate.<br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2225\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2225\" style=\"width: 150px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.daysoutblog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Killerton_8640.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.daysoutblog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Killerton_8640-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Handkerchief tree\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-2225\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2225\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Handkerchief tree<\/figcaption><\/figure> <figure id=\"attachment_2226\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2226\" style=\"width: 150px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.daysoutblog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Killerton_8641.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.daysoutblog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Killerton_8641-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Killerton garden\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-2226\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2226\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Garden<\/figcaption><\/figure> <figure id=\"attachment_2227\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2227\" style=\"width: 150px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.daysoutblog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Killerton_8643.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.daysoutblog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Killerton_8643-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Chapel, Killerton\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-2227\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2227\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Chapel<\/figcaption><\/figure> <figure id=\"attachment_2228\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2228\" style=\"width: 150px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.daysoutblog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Killerton_8644.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.daysoutblog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Killerton_8644-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Chapel interior, Killerton\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-2228\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2228\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Chapel interior<\/figcaption><\/figure> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>National Trust.
