Well-known for spectacular beauty and diversity, Sissinghurst Castle is well worth a visit if you are planning a garden tour in the UK! The gardens at  Sissinghurst Castle are famous for garden lovers from around the world.

The Castle is unusual in having many “compartments” each within a boundary and designed to create an individual theme or character, for instance, the ‘White Garden’ has mainly white flowers. The very first thing to do when you arrive is to ascend the tower and from the top memories the relative position of each garden compartment which will save you getting lost.

Sissinghurst Castle:

All the different smaller gardens in Sissinghurst Castle are beautiful.

1. The Rose Garden

The Rose Garden is a riot of colour with flowers blooming throughout the season in a happy jumble of Roses, Iris, Astrantia,  Helenium and seasonal bulbs all in the same beds. It can be viewed from the raised seat against the semi-circular wall at the West end of the garden.

2. The White Garden

If you are lucky timing your visit, as Flora Garden Tours do, the central dome will be covered in the white flowers of the Rosa longicuspis. Around this will be a bewildering selection of species--all white. There may be Gladioli, Irises, pompom Dahlias, Japanese Anemonies and many more.

3. The South Cottage Garden

The gold, yellow and glowing red symbolize the South Cottage Garden, which has colour throughout the season but is particularly impressive after springtime. Against the wall of the South Cottage Garden, you will get to see the early summer flowering rose - Mme Alfred Carriere and to the West, the Castle tower forms a scenic back-drop.Visit for more detail.....
