Sissinghurst Castle

A Karen Brown Recommendation

CITY, England, United Kingdom

Visit Website

Sissinghurst Castle (NT) was a jail for 3,000 French prisoners in the Seven Years’ War. Its ruined remains were bought by Vita Sackville-West and her husband, Harold Nicolson, in 1930 and together they created the most gorgeous gardens with areas divided off like rooms, each with a distinctly different, beautiful garden. They also rescued part of the derelict castle where you can climb the tower in which Vita wrote her books. At the entrance to the garden an old barn has been tastefully converted into a tearoom and shop.
