Knole Park is a deer park located directly to the south-east of the town of Sevenoaks in Kent, England. Dominating a large proportion of the park is Knole House, a 15th-century manor house, with the oldest parts being built by Thomas Bourchier, Archbishop of Canterbury. The park is substantially wooded and reflecting its woodland is a Site of Special Scientific Interest. In the north of the park lies Knole Park Golf Course.
