Situated in a region known for its outstanding natural beauty are the breath-taking gardens of Sissinghurst Castle. Lovingly created in the 1930s by Vita Sackville-West and Harold Nicolson, the gardens are today 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 remains of the castle and enjoy the well-presented exhibition, which tells the tales of the castle’s history from the Napoleonic wars right through to the popular hop-picking era. Afterward, wander through the spectacular gardens, which are separated into ten areas by beautifully aligned walls and hedges, giving you an impression of peace and seclusion. As the visit comes to an end reboard your coach to transfer to London Heathrow Airport
