Sissinghurst Castle Garden

A series of garden rooms divided by clipped hedges and old brick walls, planted by Vita Sackville-West and designed with her husband Harold Nicolson after they bought the run-down estate in 1930.

The White Garden, planted in white, silver, grey and green and completed in the winter of 1949–50, is one of the best-known garden rooms in England.

Climb the Elizabethan tower for a view over the whole garden and the Kent countryside, and see Vita's writing room, kept largely as it was when she died in 1962.
