| Set at the heart of a timeless deer park, Knole has fascinating links with kings, queens and the nobility as well as literary connections with the novelists Vita Sackville-West and Virginia Woolf. Knole was the birthplace and childhood home of Vita Sackville-West and members of the Sackville family continue to live at Knole today. Thirteen superb state rooms are laid out much as they were in the 18th century to impress visitors with the wealth and standing of the Sackville family. The house includes world-renowned rare furniture, paintings by Gainsborough and Reynolds as well as important 17th-century tapestries. | | | | Please do not feed the deer; they can be dangerous. In order to protect Knole's fragile and rare textiles, light of all kinds is carefully controlled. This restricts opening hours of the show rooms – last entry 3:30. Premium pre-booked guided tours take place on Wed, Fri & Sat at 11am, as well as Thur in August at 11am, while the house is closed to the public. Free flow groups are welcome Wed-Sun, after 12:30. Minimum of 15 people in a group. Group rate does not apply on Sundays or Bank Holidays | | |  | Guided tours
