Sissinghurst Castle and Gardens |
| This world famous garden is only 15 minutes away. Our favourite garden is the White Garden and from the tower you can enjoy amazing views of the Kent countryside. Surprisingly children love Sissinghurst as there are fun quizzes for all ages and during the holidays there may be a storyteller spinning folktales about ghosts. Lovely restaurant serving cream teas!
