The Hertfordshire stately home has announced the reopening of the gardens and dino trail from Saturday, February 27.

They will be opening each weekend from 10am to 4pm for local residents, at £8 per person and £28 for a family of four ticket. This weekend has already sold out.
Not only will this offer a change of scenery for people on their daily exercise, this will provide a safe space for families in the local community to enjoy the spring days ahead.
The 28 acres of gardens, including the dinosaur trail, is a great location to take a relaxing stroll and see the seasonal snowdrops and daffodils bloom.

Children can follow the trail of 72 life-sized dinosaurs through the wilderness garden.
The Adventure Playground with Fort Knebworth will remain closed to all visitors at this time though.
Updates of any changes will be available on the Knebworth House website.
