Knole Park Sevenoaks Guide
About Knole Park
Set within 1,000 acres of rolling parkland, Knole House and Knole Park are among Kent’s grandest heritage estates. Once an archbishop’s palace and later a royal residence, Knole has been the home of the Sackville family for more than 400 years.
Visitors today can explore the magnificent showrooms, Gatehouse Tower, and Royal Oak Foundation Conservation Studio, while outside the medieval deer park offers open views, historic oaks, and wild herds of deer grazing freely.
Managed by the National Trust, Knole remains a rare blend of Tudor architecture, artistic treasures, and natural beauty – a must-see on any visit to Sevenoaks or west Kent.
