Knole

Knole is set at the heart of a 1000 acre deer park, the only remaining medieval deer park in Kent, where Sika & Fallow deer roam freely amongst ancient oak, beech and chestnut trees.
Knole's fascinating links with kings, queens & the nobility, as well as its literary connections with Vita Sackville-West and her close friend, Virginia Woolf, make this one of the most intriguing houses in England. Thirteen superb state rooms are laid out much as they were in the 18th century to impress visitors by the wealth and standing of the Sackville family, who continue to live at Knole today. The house includes Royal Stuart furniture; paintings by Gainsborough, Van Dyck and Reynolds as well as many 17th century tapestries.
