Falling leaves, crisp days and gentle sunshine make autumn a beautiful time to visit Knole. Join our family half-term activities, discover more about the exciting archaeological discoveries in the parkland and meet our resident bat population at these events.
Archaeology in Knole Park walk
Recent investigations at Knole have concentrated on the house but the surrounding parkland also tells a rich story of the area’s history. The circular mound, known as Echo Mount, near the house is thought to be an early Bronze Age burial barrow. Bronze Age flint tools found in the park also suggest people lived here as early as 2000BC.
Explore the past with our park guides and learn about the latest archaeological discoveries. This is an introduction to landscape archaeology with a survey of a section of the park and some hands-on finds retrieval. This walk is ideal for anyone who has an interest in archaeology but especially for those trying it for the first time.
Saturday 14 October from 2pm – 3pm. Please meet outside the Visitor Centre.
