Killerton National Trust estate near Exeter has been declared ‘the perfect place for Nordic walking’ by Nordic Walking Devon.

Nordic walking is a full body exercise with specially designed poles that propel you forward as you walk. It’s a form of outdoor fitness that is easy on the joints because the poles take the weight off the knees and lower body joints which make you feel lighter on your feet. You work the entire major muscles in the body burning 20% - 40% more calories, yet strangely it feels easier than ordinary walking.
