Sissinghurst Castle Garden

Plan 2.

Off to Sissinghurst Castle.

We know that you remember Vita Sackville-West of Knole fame.
She of the well known Poems and books (none of which I can remember). From a popular culture point of view she is as well remembered as the lover of Virginia Wolf.

You may remember that her cousin Eddy inherited Knole although he didn’t want it and she wanted it but couldn’t inherit.

So she and her husband bought an Elizabethan manor house with a 4 storey tower and proceeded to design and plant one if England's most famous gardens. Strange place. No real centre, parents slept in one cottage, sons and kitchen in another, library in another.

Very interesting place.Meer informatie
