Our first visit was to Killerton House, a modest country house of no particular distinction save for the fact that it came across as a warm family home. It was a short distance from Chagford and as it was threatening to rain, we thought it best to take cover until the rain receded.

| Killerton House, Devon |
 |
Masses of wisteria drape the front of the house
A sight to behold |
 |
| A rather grand staircase |
 |
| My favourite - exquisite embroidery on a small chair |
 |
| The gardens as seen from the house |
in the languid rain
a slender tree shivers
delirious with life
- a haiku from an unknown poet -
