|Day 3
Today we discover Knightshayes (NT) with acres of glorious garden and park, surrounding a spectacular Gothic Revival house, Knightshayes is the complete country gentleman's dream. The house is a rare example of the work of William Burges, whose lavish designs have always inspired extremes of opinion. Full of quirks and curiosities, it is a house of many faces.

Enjoy a cream tea as your Skipper gives you a live commentary on the history of the area, the beautiful sights and the resident and visiting wildlife.
