Our drawing of the route, over road and path data from OpenStreetMap. It shows where the walk goes and what it goes through. It is not a survey and not a navigation aid — carry OS Explorer on the hill. Off-lead information here is what walkers reported or what signage allows — never our advice. Whether and when a dog is off the lead is the owner’s decision and legal responsibility; keep dogs under control near livestock and follow signs on the day.

Starts at

The Stables lawn at Knightshayes, by the cafe

Parking

Large National Trust car park, free to members, charged with admission otherwise; space is normally available

Directions to the start →

A 1.2-mile waymarked loop of the parkland at Knightshayes, twenty-five to forty-five minutes with 60 metres of climbing and a few steep and uneven stretches through specimen trees and open pasture above the Exe valley. Start on the Stables lawn by the café and follow the dog-walk waymarks; the estate is a mile north of Tiverton off the A396 with a large car park, free to National Trust members and included in admission otherwise. This is the designated route for dogs on the estate, so it avoids the formal garden where dogs are restricted, there is a water bowl at the stables, and the only real hazards are the sheep that graze parts of the park and the drive traffic at the start.

THE SMALL PRINTDogs are asked to keep to the waymarked parkland dog walk and are restricted in the formal garden and not admitted to the house; leads are needed where the park is grazed by sheep.
