Overview
A symbol of love and horticultural ambition, created by Vita Sackville-West and Harold Nicolson in the early 1930s. Designed in a series of ‘rooms’ with highlights including the Rose Garden and the White Garden. Discover why Sissinghurst is famous as the epitome of the English garden and explore its series of garden rooms, each filled with different planting schemes and unique designs. The Old Dairy Café serves hot and cold drinks, tasty light bites and cakes. Indoor and outdoor seating available. Tower: Home to Vita’s Writing Room. Vast panoramic views of the formal garden, working farm and 450-acre wider estate from the very top. The Big Room (Library): This atmospheric space was originally used for entertaining by Vita and Harold and is now home to exhibitions throughout the year. We have time in Cranbrook before our visit to Sissinghurst. Known as the ‘Capital of the Weald’, Cranbrook is a pretty town with a medieval street layout. Many buildings date from the 15th through to the 19th century. This historic town is a perfect place to see the Wealden lifestyle in a beautiful setting.
