Knole House, KENT
Head to Sevenoaks and steep yourself in the 600 years of history to be found at Knole House. This Jacobean manor has been home to artists, archbishops and aristocracy alike, and is set in acres of beautiful parkland, with herds of roaming wild deer. It’s also home to one of the rarest collections, the original manuscript of which is still kept safely stored at Knole.
