Sissinghurst Castle Garden is one of the most celebrated gardens in England, known for its artistry, tranquility, and beautifully designed garden rooms. Located just a short drive or a peaceful countryside walk from Tollgate Farm Kent, it’s a must-visit for guests who appreciate nature, history, and slow, intentional moments outdoors.
Created by Vita Sackville-West and Harold Nicolson, Sissinghurst is a masterclass in structure and planting. Each garden room feels distinct—the White Garden, the Rose Garden, the Cottage Garden—and yet the entire space flows with harmony and purpose. Guests can climb the tower for panoramic views, wander the brick-lined paths, or enjoy the orchards and surrounding estate walks that make this corner of Kent so memorable.
For guests staying at Tollgate Farm, Sissinghurst pairs perfectly with a relaxed morning or afternoon. Visit after breakfast, explore the grounds at an unhurried pace, and finish with a coffee in the barn café before returning to your private hot tub or wood burner. It’s an ideal outing for couples seeking quiet, families exploring the High Weald, or anyone visiting Kent for its world-renowned gardens.
Tollgate Tip: Arrive early to enjoy the gardens before they become busy, then take the public footpath toward Cranbrook for a scenic return journey or a stop at a local pub. It’s one of the simplest ways to experience Kent’s countryside at its best.
