Killerton Gardens in full bloom

Visitors are invited to take a leisurely stroll through the glorious garden of Killerton this summer, taking in the sights and scents of the terrace garden now it's in bloom.

Karl Emeleus, Head Gardener at Killerton said: "Midsummer is a great time to visit as the mixed borders are full of colour.

"There is also plenty to see elsewhere in the garden, including Cornus ‘Norman Hadden’, one of my favourite small trees that is growing near the Lady Cott.

"It has glorious white bracts that mature to pink, which are followed by strawberry-like fruits in autumn."
