Knole Park :: TQ5454

Knole Park is a 1000 acre Tudor deer park, on the edge of Sevenoaks town centre. The centre piece is Knole House, a National Trust owned stately home built between 1456 and 1486.

The land is home to around 800 deer, and is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). The park had not changed much in 500 years, but in the great storm of 1987, 70% of the trees were lost.
