About the event
Our journey begins in Cranbrook, a charming market town known as the “Capital of the Weald.” We’ll venture out across rolling fields and along the ghost traces of ancient Roman roads, winding through the heart of one of England’s most treasured historic landscapes.
The route leads us to the iconic Sissinghurst Castle Garden, once home to the writer Vita Sackville-West. While we won’t enter the main National Trust property, the surrounding public footpaths provide striking views of the famous tower and glimpses into the estate’s fascinating past.
