Knole

About

Knole is one of the country’s most exceptional historic houses, containing world-class collections and surrounded by a 1,000 acre deer park.

Story

Sitting proudly within Kent’s last medieval deer park, Knole offers something for everyone. Immerse yourself in the vast estate and follow in the footsteps of tourists who have visited Knole’s showrooms for 400 years

Originally built as an archbishop’s palace, Knole passed through royalty to the Sackville family, who still live here today. Take in the scale and magnificence of this 600 year old estate by exploring the grand courtyards and tranquil Orangery or wander the winding paths in the parkland, still populated by wild deer.

Inside the showrooms, art lovers will find Reynolds, Gainsborough and Van Dyck to admire. Textiles enthusiasts can marvel at the 17th century tapestries and furniture that make the collection internationally significant. You can explore the life and loves of former resident Eddy Sackville-West in the Gatehouse Tower and climb the spiral staircase to take in panoramic views from the top.

Knole is in the midst of a huge conservation project, in partnership with the Heritage Lottery Fund. Visitors can find out how our team of conservators care for Knole’s treasures in the new conservation studio and see them in action from Wednesday to Saturday weekly.

We will continue to conserve Knole's historic showrooms and precious collection this year. Five of the showrooms have now reopened, but please be aware that the rest of the showrooms will be closed in 2017 so that specialist conservation work can take place. The showrooms will reopen fully in 2019.

Currently only 5 rooms are open to the public due to conservation at the site. Go to the conservation room near the cafe to see how they repair and refurbish objects. We watched a stool being re-gilded with real gold leaf. Generally conservation rooms are not open to the public so this is a rare opportunity to see how it's done. No photos are allowed anywhere inside of the house. The current holder of the title and his family still lives here. They are working down their 200 year lease before totally giving it over to the National Trust.

I absolutely love visiting Knole. The history and architecture are amazing. The guided tour was great and really helped in getting to know the history. The grounds are lovely. If you are looking for a great walk, it won't disappoint. The deer are lovely to see as well.

We visit many of the national trust properties,and Knole is one of our favourite places to go and see. The restaurant food is good and not too expensive. You can go for as long, or short a walk as you like afterwards, as there is a huge park land with Dear. Plenty of parking.

A small amount of the house was open, the gardens would be amazing in the summer although quite an area was roped off due to wet ground. NT a victim of their success during winter as their car parks turn into mud pits so more investment needed. Overall a nice visit and will go back.

Great place to visit. Lovely open space and the wild life is amazing. If you love historical sites, then this is one not to be missed. It has space for picnics, but just make sure you check the weather before going and bring your wellington boots, because it can get very muddy there. Enjoy
