A National Trust site a little over an hour's drive from Bristol has unveiled concept plans that include ziplines, better restaurant facilities, new car parking and a play area. Lewis Paterson from Knightshayes, on the outskirts of Tiverton, recently spoke about the future of the National Trust property, saying that plans to improve the site were being discussed.
He said: “What you see now was built for around 75,000 visitors. Originally the café and reception were in the house, but they got too busy and retreated to the Stables.
"We got lucky as we had a storm once and could make the car park a bit bigger, but it’s not really fit for purpose and doesn’t join together. One of the things we looked at in 2019 was a spatial plan to make Knightshayes work better for us.
