One of the world’s most celebrated gardens, the creation of Vita Sackville-West and her husband Sir Harold Nicolson
Developed around the surviving parts of an Elizabethan mansion with a central red-brick prospect tower, a series of small enclosed compartments, intimate in scale and romantic in atmosphere and including the renowned White Garden, provide outstanding design and colour through the season. The study, where Vita worked, and library are also open to visitors.
The study is in the tower and can be seen on the middle floor on the right in this picture |
|  | The gardens are world-renowned and have seasons. If you are a National Trust member you can go over and over again and see it in spring, summer and in autumn.
The different seasons bring differing flower plants to life and the White Garden is full of blooms. |
You can also climb to the top of the Tower and onto the small viewing platform on the roof and take in the views across the grounds and gardens.

and the place is still as stunningly beautiful as ever - and yes about that excellent British establishment of cream tea! | Mariajoy Tue May 1, 2007 12:35 UTC
