Situated in a region known for its outstanding natural beauty are the breathtaking gardens of Sissinghurst Castle. Lovingly created in the 1930s by Vita Sackville-West and Harold Nicolson, the gardens are now maintained by the National Trust.
The castle itself was developed around an Elizabethan mansion with a central red-brick prospect tower, which still survives today. The rooms inside these impressive turrets are intimate and romantic in atmosphere.
Explore the castle's remains and note the well-presented exhibit that tells the castle's history from the Napoleonic Wars to the popular hop-picking era.
Afterward, wander through the grounds, which are separated into ten areas by beautifully aligned walls and hedges, creating an impression of peace and seclusion.
