Sissinghurst Castle - Sissinghurst Castle is a ruin of an Elizabethan manor house.  It gained international fame in the 1930s when Vita Sackville-West and Harold Nicolson created a garden here, which is a riot of colour throughout the year. Divided into small garden rooms, each is very distinctive from the others. Don't miss the famous white garden and Vita's beloved rose garden.

Open every day

Batemans  A 17th-century house, with its mullioned windows and oak beams, provided a much needed sanctuary to world-famous writer Rudyard Kipling.  The rooms, described by him as 'untouched and unfaked', remain much as he left them, with oriental rugs and artefacts reflecting his strong association with the East. Bateman's is very much a family home, but impressive none the less.
