Sissinghurst Castle
One of the worlds most celebrated gardens, the creation of Vita Sackville-West and her husband Sir Harold Nicolson. Developed around the surviving parts of an Elizabethan mansion with a central red-brick prospect tower, a series of small, enclosed compartments, intimate in scale and romantic in atmosphere, provide outstanding design and colour through the season. The study, where Vita worked, and Long Library are also open to visitors
The Garden is often very busy - so a ticketing system is often in operation
to avoid crowds in the garden. The garden is less crowded in April, September
and October also Wednesday to Friday after 4.
The woodland around Sissinghurst Castle is always open and is free to access.
