Spectacular Knole House Deer Park and Ightham Mote Circular hike 20 km

This spectacular circular walk explores Knole Park and the surrounding woodland. It is situated within the thousand-acre Knole Park. It is one of the largest houses in England occupying 4 acres. The house dates from the 15th century and lies within an area of parkland and woodland with a resident population of deer. Generally considered a moderately challenging route, it takes an average of 4 hours to complete.
