Set in 250 acres of rolling Hertfordshire countryside, Knebworth House is one of England's most colourful stately homes.
It is remarkable for having been in the Lytton family for more than 500 years.
Its romantic Gothic exterior complete with turrets, domes and gargoyles conceals a much older Tudor red brick house.
