Step into the orchards at Killerton and explore a landscape shaped by generations of care. This relaxed guided walk with ranger Jack looks at some of the historic apple varieties found on the estate and touches on how orchards have traditionally been managed over time.

Along the way, we’ll share a few stories about their role in Devon’s rural life and what makes them special today.

We’ll also visit the cider barn to get a simple overview of how apples are turned into cider, following the journey from fruit to fermentation. This is an informal, friendly walk—ideal for anyone curious about orchards, local history, and the basics of cider making.

We will meet in the Killerton car park by the Engine House.
