Knightshayes is one of those places that works whatever the season and whatever the mood, a family ramble, a peaceful morning walk, or just some time outdoors in a beautiful setting.

The parkland and woodland is great for wandering, with brilliant views around surrounding countryside, with a circular route available on the Knightshayes website if you like something to follow, or plenty of room to simply stroll and explore at your own pace. The Stables Café is always a welcome stop for refreshments along the way.

Terrain: Parkland and woodland paths

Bampton is a town that rewards an unhurried wander, along its historic streets, into the peaceful churchyard of St Michael and All Angels, and down to where the River Batherm runs quietly beneath Brook Street.

Keep an eye on the skies around the church in summer, Swifts are regular visitors, and watching them wheel overhead is one of those simple pleasures that`s easy to miss if you`re not looking up.

For those who prefer a more structured outing, Bampton Heritage & Visitor Centre has walk books and runs regular guided walks throughout the year, from town history trails to longer routes into the surrounding countryside.

A rewarding circular that takes in woodland, open countryside and the edges of the @knightshayesnt estate.

Starting from the Knightshayes car park, the route climbs up past the walled kitchen garden and out to the edges of the estate. This woodland section leads up to Firebeacon Lane, where wind-shaped trees frame wide views across the Devon countryside.

The route then drops down through a working farm (keep to the path and dogs on leads to protect livestock) before joining Hayne Lane and skirting the Knightshayes Estate down to Bolham, with a final climb back up towards Knightshayes, and up the drive to complete the loop.

A varied route with some steep sections and off-road paths, with the Knightshayes Stables Café perfectly placed for a well-earned drink at the end.
Terrain: Some steep sections, off-road through farmland
Dog friendly: Yes - on lead on Knightshayes land and through farmland
Start: Knightshayes National Trust car park, Tiverton (free for members, parking charge for non members)

Stoke Canon is easy to drive through without stopping, but park up, find the footpath near the railway level crossing, and you`re quickly into a varied and rewarding short route through fields, woodland, wildflowers and alongside the river, leading to Brampford Speke, a picturesque village of thatched cottages and quirky details worth taking your time over.

History enthusiasts will spot signs of the old railway branch line along the way, including former station houses, adding an extra layer of interest to the route. The return leg follows a quiet country lane back to Stoke Canon, with the mainline railway not far away, there`s something unexpectedly satisfying about a train briefly cutting through the peace of the day.

A lovely, varied circular with plenty to notice along the way.

Dog friendly: Yes - dogs on leads where cattle are present in fields
