We travelled to Knebworth on one of the hottest day's this year. There was a "red" weather warning for extremely hot weather, but we ventured forth in our delightfully air-conditioned coach, and had a wonderful time. Knebworth House has 28 acres of formal gardens including a maze, colourful borders and fine trees; Sir Edwin Lutyens had a hand in these gardens as well as he married into the family!
Knebworth House has been home to the Lytton family for over 19 generations. Stories and heirlooms reflect the family's contribution to literature, politics and foreign service. Visits from people as diverse as Charles Dickens, Winston Churchill and Queen Elizabeth I have also added to Knebworth's rich heritage.
