Sissinghurst Castle was our last beautiful manor and gardens owned by the National Land Trust of England.

Purchased by wife & husband,Vita Sackville-West and Harold Nicolson in 1932 to create a beautiful showplace and create incredible gardens.  Sissinghurst actually began life as a Saxon pig farm and within a few years had become a small moated manor house. The home was leased by the government during the Seven Years War (1756-1763) and used as a prison camp for 3000 captured French sailors who almost destroyed the house.
