Heritage Open Day at National Trust Knightshayes

If you’ve got a day to spare, Knightshayes Court is the perfect place to enjoy it. Wander through acres of beautiful gardens and parkland in Devon, all wrapped around a wonderfully quirky Gothic Revival house designed by William Burges, full of surprises and character at every turn.

The formal and woodland gardens are packed with colour and interest, featuring over 1,200 plant species you won’t find anywhere else.

Out in the wider parkland, you can stretch your legs on peaceful woodland walks, take in stunning Devon views, and spot the Exmoor Horn sheep grazing across the farmland.

Whether you’re interested in nature, architecture, or simply enjoying time outdoors, Knightshayes Court offers a refreshing, varied, and completely free day out during the Heritage Open Days Festival.
