About Knebworth Gardens
The gardens at Knebworth House date back to at least the 17th century, with much of the current layout developed during the Edwardian era by architect Edwin Lutyens. Today, the 28 acres of formal gardens feature colourful borders, a maze, walled vegetable garden and a herb garden based on a 1907 design by Gertrude Jekyll.
