This moated Tudor house was built in the 16 century but after a while was left to fall into disrepair. Then In 1930 Vita Sackville-West and her husband Harold Nicolson took over what was left of the building, over the years they lovingly restored the house and the gardens. Sissinghurst Castle is now world celebrated for its gardens that each have their own colour scheme and not to be missed any time of the year. With rare, medicinal and aromatic plants in some section and rough orchards, rose garden and woodlands making up the other section there is something for everyone.
