Today we decided to head over to Killerton, a National Trust house and garden we have wanted to visit for a while. The sun was shining so we were happy there were lots of things to do outside. The children found so much to keep them entertained!
To be honest we didn’t find the house that interesting. The children had fun spotting the toy mice that had been hidden and I quite enjoyed the fashion exhibition but it’s not one of my favourite houses. I love seeing all kinds of rooms in stately homes but we didn’t get to see the kitchens, bedrooms or bathrooms which I often find more interesting than the library or music rooms.
We had a very delicious lunch in the restaurant.
But were very happy to head outside and explore the gardens. The children found lots of sticks to draw with on the footpaths.
We found giant redwood trees and did a scavenger hunt. We also found an ice house and a bears’ hut.
Someone felt a little tired from all the walking.
We were also pretty impressed with the beautiful cyclamens just by the chapel.
We had a lovely day out and hope we get to go back another day to explore the village.
Perfect weather for such a great day out. Those cyclamen are quite something when they grow like that, and such a welcome sight in the winter………xxxx
