Tomorrow I will be out and about, filming and taking photographs at Knole Deer Park in Sevenoaks, Kent. The planned walk is approximately 7.4km, although I am sure I will be extending that by wandering off route. I was planning on doing a much longer (12.5 km) walk from Knole to Ightham Mote and back, however, I am still suffering from the so-called supper cold that is making its rounds.
So, until I am fighting fit again, I will do some shorter walks to get some exercise and fresh air in my lungs.
About Knole:
Knole Park is a 383.4-hectare (947-acre) biological Site of Special Scientific Interest in Sevenoaks in Kent. About 43 acres of the park belongs to the National Trust as does Knole House that sits within it. The remaining parkland is privately owned by the Knole Estate. It is in the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
The park has acidic woodland, parkland, woods, and ponds. It has the best ancient woodland invertebrates in the county, including the nationally rare beetle Platypus cylindrus and several nationally scarce species, and it also has a rich fungus flora.
The park is open to the public and has a herd of around 350 deer, both fallow deer and Sika deer, which are owned and managed by the Knole Estate.
