The 15th-century manor house is located in the 1,000-acre deer park Knole Park. The deer are used to passers-by. Knole itself is one of England's largest houses. Given in 1566 to Queen Elizabeth's cousin Thomas Sackville, the house is now probably best remembered due to his descendant Vita Sackville-West, English author immortalized in Virginia Woolf's novel "Orlando". On my own visit, the whole park was closed to foot and mouth disease, so unfortunately I have only seen it from afar.

Dam and sika deer experience up close, great, unbelievably large park invites you to stroll, rest, picnicking ... Scavenger hunt with interesting facts for children can also be combined by mobile phone / GPS ... Interesting castle with interesting stories ...

Hiking

Most of the exterior parts of the grounds can be accessed for free, and there is a beautiful cafe with a gift shop that you will find when taking the footpath that leads to the left of the manor house.
