Knole Park

Enjoyed a lovely day out in Knole Park with the family today. Have been going there on and off since I was a kid and every time we go we seem to end up exploring somewhere different - and my 6 year old loves the deer running about.

One thing that completley baffles me everytime I go there though - and for that matter you see it at other places to - is the number of people who turn up, get chairs out of their cars and then proceed to sit in the car park all day. It's as if they can't bare to let their precious motor out of their sights. Why go somewhere like that if you're not going to have a look around? Bizarre!

Anyone else a fan of Knole Park?

    An old school mates Dad used to take us on mini adventures in their caravanette & we'd regularly end up in Knole Park. I thought it was a magical 'Narnia' type place. Happy days!

    A truly wonderful park...can't think of a better one anywhere any place....take something to drink with you though if you're going to go off for a walk(which is the general idea of course)...it's a big place and there's only the cafe where you can get liquids.

    Not been for years. It's National Trust isn't it so wouldn't even cost.

    Will go there again soonish.

    Used to go quite a lot with my Dad and sister but not been for ages.

    I heartily recommend the Encharted Forest in Groombridge,Sussex too if you have kids....good fun and lots to see.

    Assault course for kids and, if you are lucky, you will see loads of deer running around freely.

    Really cool place

    Oh yes, it's a fantastic place. A huge area of untouched nature, lot's to explore and of course the deer. Great place to go and have a damn good walk and a picnic. Might need to get down there this close season.

    Depends on how old they are really. There aren't any swings, etc, but there's plenty of old skool fun to be had; like climbing trees - and any one of the hundreds of tree trunks still lying about the place following the great storm of the 80's - hide and seek in the trees/woods; running/rolling down hills at full pelt (being careful to mind the deer bob everywhere!); getting battered up with a few bottles of White Lightning. As I say, depends on the age really!

    I used to live in the area and spent a large chunk of time as a kid in the Park. It's a brilliant place. The house is interesting as well. It's such a great place for kids to let off steam. I wish we had something similar close at hand now.

    For those that like climbing the trees a young teenager tragically died a few months ago falling from a Tree in Knole Park. And the deer can be a bit aggressive too.

    As a resident of Sevenoaks I prefer it in the middle of winter with a dusting of snow and no bloody townies around.

    Even if the National Trust entrance/Car Park is closed you can always gain pedestrian access from the path leading from the car park near the Sevenoaks swimming pool.

    Please bring green wellies waxed coat smelly gun dog and range rover as you are not allowed into the area without these.
