Enjoy the natural historical gardens and fantasy woodland which surround the ancestral home of the Kennaway family. Here in 220 acres of parkland you'll find an ark-full of animals with paths, trails and vistas, and everywhere beautiful flowers in their seasons, shrubs and magnificent champion trees. See the Birds of Prey, Otters, Red Squirrels and Wild Boar, get lost in our amazing 4,000 Beach-Tree Maze and try your hand at the Escot letterboxing challenge. The Coach House Restaurant serves coffees (cappuccino, latte etc.), home-cooked lunches; cream teas and mouth-watering home-made cakes and desserts. Visit our Pet & Aquatic Centre where you can find one of the most extensive collections of tropical and pond fish in the West Country plus an excellent range of pets to buy including birds, hamsters, rabbits and guinea pigs and expert advice on how to care for them. The House of Marbles shop stocks a comprehensive range of all the games toys puzzles and pastimes, presents for men and women and children of all ages for which House of Marbles has become so well known. Escot is just off the A30, between Exeter and Honiton at Fairmile.

Consistent with this 'natural' approach, we do our best to provide access for all. Some of the wilderness paths are left in their original state and these are not suitable for wheelchairs. However, paths to the maze, the birds of prey and the otters have been made wheelchair-friendly. The maze has one route in and out which avoids the bridges (please ask at the kiosk for a key), and wheelchair toilets are provided in the restaurant and at the car park. The Education Ranger provides special programmes for group visits for all abilities. If you think we can help you further with access to Escot, please do ask for assistance at the kiosk or in the restaurant.
