Sissinghurst Castle Garden is one of the world's most famous 20th-century gardens. It is the creation of the writer and poet Vita Sackville-West and her husband, diplomat and writer, Harold Nicolson.

The garden is made up of 10 distinct 'garden rooms' each with a different feel. For example the Lime Walk, designed for spring effect, the Cottage Garden using only hot colours, reds, oranges and yellows and the White Garden, with its many shades of white, greys and greens, all of which have been such an influence on gardening in the 20th century.

Visitors are able to see the writing room where Vita Sackville-West wrote many of her poems and novels.

Woodland and lake walks are open all year - free of charge.
