Describing Sissinghurst Castle and Garden is not easy. Words like historical, poetic, iconic, beautiful, colorful, breathtaking almost come close to reality. It is a sanctuary dedicated to beauty. Vita Sackville-West and Harold Nicolson fell in love with Sissinghurst Castle and created a now world-famous garden in a very unique way.

Sissinghurst Castle Garden

Highlight • Historical Site

There is no castle or large country house here, but there are some interesting buildings. The site of Sissinghurst Castle Garden was once a Saxon pig farm, it would originally have been called 'Saxenhurst', where 'hurst' meant forest.
The Tudor buildings were used as a prison for up to 3,000 French sailors captured by the British during the Seven Years' War, between 1756-63. For months, the prisoners were held in horrible, smelly conditions, in 'cells' with little access to fresh air, clean water or adequate food.
The sailors called Sissinghurst 'le chateau', hence the inclusion of 'castle' in the name, although this is not a direct translation.

Sissinghurst Birdwatching Hide

Highlight • Viewpoint

The ranger team designed and built the birdhouse from Sissinghurst oak. All 'bird watchers' among you can now watch the comings and goings of our feathered friends in peace and comfort. The birdhouse is located on the long estate walk, near the bottom of the vegetable garden.
