Front Park and The Clump Walk, Killerton

This short circular walk explores the parkland heart of the Killerton estate in Devon, taking in gentle rises with wide views across the surrounding countryside. Starting near Killerton House and the Stable Block, the route heads out across Front Park before climbing towards The Clump, a distinctive hilltop cluster of trees that gives the walk its name.

Near the summit you reach the Acland Memorial Cross, before the path loops back down past the edge of Danes Wood Walk. On the descent you pass the charming rustic Bear's Hut, a small ornamental garden building tucked among the trees, and Killerton Chapel with its handsome stonework. The final stretch returns you through parkland to the Stable Block courtyard.

At just 2.5 km with around 100 m of ascent, it makes an easy leg-stretcher that packs in a surprising amount of variety. Nearby you can extend your visit with Park Wood, Broadly Coppice or Columbjohn Wood, or seek out the curious site of The Lost House on the wider estate.
