The walk for tomorrow has been cancelled due to adverse weather conditions. It will be rescheduled in the future.
We are the Taunton Deane Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
PLEASE NOTE EARLIER START TIME
This walk explores the lovely and historic Killerton estate,which may be starting to change to Autumn colours. We follow the public footpath that passes close in front of the NT Killerton House and garden and then onto the wider estate passing through both farm and woodland. We pass by the historic Columbjohn chapel and along the Culm Valley, passing the ancient Ellerhayes Bridge.There is a gentle climb up to The Plains. We then pass Deodor Glen and, coming out of the woodland, should have distant views to Dartmoor.
There is a cafe, open to all, which is open 10am to 5pm close to the car park so the earlier start should allow time for refreshments after the walk.
There may be livestock in the fields and dogs will have to be on leads
