This internationally renowned garden was developed by Vita Sackville-West and Sir Harold Nicolson around the surviving parts of an Elizabethan mansion. It comprises small enclosed compartments, with colour throughout the season, resulting in an intimate and romantic atmosphere. The surrounding Wealden landscape and farm were central to Vita and Harold's love and overall vision for Sissinghurst. The new vegetable garden, now fully productive, supplies fresh vegetables and fruit to the licensed restaurant.
Sissinghurst occupies an ancient site. There has been a settlement here since the late 12th century, the name deriving from a Saxon clearing in the woods.
