KNEBWORTH HOUSE

Knebworth House is a Gothic-style mansion remodelled in the 19th century, but originally a Tudor red brick manor house.  It has been the home of the Lytton family since 1490 but is possibly best-known for being a venue for rock concerts.

The interior is sumptuous and owes much to the Edwardian designer, Sir Edwin Lutyens.  The house and grounds are open to the public and the latter include gardens, an adventure playground and dinosaur park.  Other events are hosted at Knebworth, in addition to the famous concerts – which have featured rock ‘n’ roll aristocracy such as The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Queen, Paul McCartney, Eric Clapton, Elton John and Dire Straits – and it is a favourite film and TV location since the ‘60s.
