Knebworth House, Park and Gardens

 

A Perfect Day Out at Knebworth House, Park and Gardens

If you’re looking for a truly unforgettable day out, Knebworth House, Park and Gardens is a destination that combines history, heritage, and adventure in one magnificent setting. Just outside Stevenage in Hertfordshire, this grand stately home has been the historic residence of the Lytton family since 1490 and offers visitors a unique blend of culture, natural beauty, and family fun.

 

 Explore the Historic Knebworth House

Step back in time as you wander through Knebworth House, a striking Gothic Tudor mansion with its turrets, domes, and gargoyles — a true architectural treasure. Inside, explore centuries of fascinating history, from grand drawing rooms filled with portraits and heirlooms to the personal study of Victorian novelist and politician Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton, author of The Last Days of Pompeii and the famous phrase “The pen is mightier than the sword.”
Guided tours bring the house to life with stories of royal visitors, famous musicians, and even film stars — as Knebworth has featured in numerous movies and TV shows, including The King’s Speech, Batman, and The Crown.

 

 Discover the Stunning Gardens

Step outside into 28 acres of glorious formal gardens, beautifully landscaped and perfect for a peaceful stroll or a scenic picnic. Each area has its own charm — from the sunken lawn and rose garden to the maze and walled vegetable garden. In spring and summer, the grounds burst into colour, offering breathtaking photo opportunities and plenty of places to relax.

 

 Fun for Families in the Park

For families, Knebworth Park is a paradise of outdoor fun. Children will love the adventure playground, complete with slides, swings, a zip wire, and the famous Fort Knebworth, an enormous wooden play structure where imaginations can run wild.
Don’t miss the Dinosaur Trail, where life-sized prehistoric creatures are hidden among the trees — perfect for little explorers! The vast parkland, home to grazing herds of deer, also offers walking trails, open spaces for games, and a sense of countryside tranquillity just a short distance from London.

 

Eat, Shop & Relax

After exploring, take time to unwind in the Garden Terrace Tea Room, where you can enjoy freshly prepared meals, sandwiches, and traditional cream teas with a view of the gardens. The Gift Shop is also worth a visit, offering locally made products, books, and souvenirs to remember your day.
