Sissinghurst Gardens Day Trip Details

Your journey takes you to Sissinghurst, where Vita Sackville-West and her husband Harold Nicolson transformed a few derelict buildings and a near wilderness into an imaginable and beautiful series of gardens, with the Tudor tower and two cottages as a centrepiece.
A glass of chilled champagne is served as soon as you board the train. This is followed by a three course lunch accompanied by half a bottle of wine. On arrival at Folkestone you will be met by your guide who will accompany you on the coach transfer to Sissinghurst (approximately one hour).
