History

Knole Farmhouse dates to the 16th century and was built on the Duke of Devonshire's land, with alterations made over the centuries. The hamlet of Knole consists mainly of blue lias stone builtproperties, some of which are thatched, with many dating from the medieval period. Knole hill is a quintessential Somerset feature, of hillocks rising from out of the pastoral landscape, and has apple trees from ancient orchards skirting its slopes.
The hamlet of Knole is tucked away from main roads and surrounded by beautiful country, has remained unspoilt, due in part to strict planning controls and the wisdom of farsighted landowners, including The Duchy of Cornwall, whose policy has been to preserve the environment.
