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.
