---

Knightshayes Court is a Gothic‑Revival country house near Tiverton in Devon, built in the 1870s for the Heathcoat‑Amory family to designs by the Victorian architect William Burges and is now cared for by the National Trust.

The red‑sandstone mansion stands within a Grade II*‑listed park of about 80 acres, with lawns, woodland walks, a walled kitchen garden, and farmland where rare‑breed sheep are still grazed. Inside, the house displays rich, ornate Victorian interiors reflecting Burges’s romantic vision, while the estate also includes a historic cricket ground and landscapes shaped by the family’s industrial and wartime history.

Visitors can explore the house, gardens, and wider parkland, enjoying views over the mid‑Devon countryside and a mix of heritage, nature, and seasonal planting.
