Knebworth House

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

Home of the Lytton family for over 500 years, Knebworth was transformed in 1843 from a red brick Tudor house into a veritable feast of gothic turrets, gargoyles and griffins, by poet-statesman Edward Bulwer-Lytton. Nowadays Knebworth is most well known as venue for huge rock concerts, but on quieter days throughout the spring and summer you can wander in peace around the 25 acres of grounds, or the varied stately public rooms of this lived-in home.
Garden: 16th century gardens were largely transformed in Victorian, and again in Edwardian, times, and since the 1980s have again been treated to a programme of restoration and development. You will find quite a range of garden features, from the traditional to the not-so: a sunken lawn with pollarded limes, formal walled gardens, Victorian statuary, sprawling shrub roses, a maze, a gold garden, woodland walks, a pet cemetery, and a dino trail...
