Welcome to Knole

Knole is a historic house located in the town of Sevenoaks, Kent, England. The house was built in the 15th century and has been owned by several prominent families throughout its history. The most notable of these families was the Sackville family, who owned the house for over 400 years. The house is now owned by the National Trust and is open to the public.

The house is set in a large parkland, which covers over 1,000 acres. The parkland is home to a large herd of deer, which can often be seen grazing in the fields. The house itself is a stunning example of Tudor architecture and is filled with a vast collection of art and antiques. Visitors can explore the many rooms of the house, including the Great Hall, the King's Room, and the Cartoon Gallery.

One of the most interesting features of Knole is the collection of portraits that hang throughout the house. These portraits include works by some of the most famous artists of the 16th and 17th centuries, including Van Dyck and Gainsborough. The house also has a number of beautiful gardens, including the Orangery Garden and the Wilderness Garden. Overall, Knole is a fascinating place to visit for anyone interested in history, art, or architecture.
