About Knole
Lord Sackville’s private garden at Knole is a magical space, featuring sprawling lawns, a walled garden, an untamed wilderness area and a medieval orchard. Access is through the beautiful Orangery, where doors open to reveal the secluded lawns of the 26-acre garden and stunning views of the house.
The garden at Knole has existed since the early fifteenth century and has been extended over the years. Highlights include the walled garden with its rarely-seen views back to the beautiful south front of the house; ‘the wilderness’ with its mossy meandering paths and wild flowers; the quaint vegetable patches; and, in spring, visitors are treated to a glorious display of purple wisteria along the garden’s western wall.
Self-guided tours are available (pick up a leaflet at the entrance to the garden).
As this is a private garden, tended by Lord Sackville’s gardeners, seating is limited and plants are not marked. Last entry at 3.30pm.
