Cranbrook - Sissinghurst Castle Garden 


Sissinghurst Castle, situated not far to the northeast of Cranbrook, is well worth a visit. Of the original Tudor mansion dating from before 1550, only the four-story gate-tower survives. In 1930 the property was acquired by Victoria Sackville-West (1892-1962), who lived here with her husband, the historian Sir Harold Nicholson. Her study in the tower contains the printing press which was used by Virginia and Leonard Woolf at the beginning of the 1920s to produce the first editions of the later much-famed Hogarth Press.
The garden is worth a visit year round but especially during the summer when it is at its most colorful. Created by Vita-Sackville-West and Sir Harold Nicholson, this is considered the loveliest garden in England.
