Treat yourself with a magnificent day to explore the deep woods, rolling parkland and picturesque fields of Kent. This diverse and absolutely stunning hike takes us on a journey via Knole House, Knole Deer Park and Ightham Mote. Don’t miss out the opportunity to see the elegant deer.
Trip Highlights:
• Hike along a stunning stretch of the Greensands Way - much of which is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty
• Explore the magnificent 1000 acre Knole Deer Park
• See the stunning Knole House - one of England's largest houses boasting 365 rooms, 52 staircases, 12 entrances and 7 courtyards
• Pass through Ightham Mote - Grade I listed medieval moated manor house dating from circa 1340AD
Our hike takes us through the 1000 acre Knole Deer Park which is home to over 350 strong deer herd and whose picturesque landscape attracted the Beatles to film promotional videos for "Penny Lane" and "Strawberry Fields Forever". The videos went on to be selected by New York's MoMA as two of the most influential music videos of the late 1960s.
