Knole has plenty to offer families throughout the year, from bracing walks in Knole Park in the winter to picnics in the summer. Trails bring the house to life for children and there's plenty to explore in Green Court all year round.
Knole in the spring
During open season in the early spring, come with the family on Tuesdays to explore the wilderness and see the first spring flowers in Lord Sackville's private walled garden. In late spring savour the sight and scent of the 200-year-old wisteria growing against the Kentish ragstone walls

Knole in autumn
Knole Park comes alive in autumn as the colours change and the wildlife adapt to the new season. Hunt for fallen horse chestnuts, spot toadstools and watch the excitement of the deer rut from afar.
