Remarkable mostly for its indoor tennis court, maze, royal loo, patterned chimneys and Italian frescos, almost every square inch has a wonderful story to tell.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Sissinghurst Castle<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-7529\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2017\/02\/iStock-182926080-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Stately Homes\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/iStock-182926080-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/iStock-182926080-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/iStock-182926080-330x220.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/iStock-182926080-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/iStock-182926080-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/iStock-182926080.jpg 1698w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Not so much a castle as a manor, Sissinghurst is another location that&#8217;s more famous for its surroundings than its stone thanks to the efforts of former owner Vita Sackville-West. The writer, and her husband Harold Nicolson, designed a horticultural heaven here in the 1930s, featuring everything from rose arbours to tracts of wisteria. Ascend Sissinghurst&#8217;s famous tower for incredible vistas of the gardens and the surrounding countryside or admire the Tudor remains on ground level. These once formed a prison for 3,000 French sailors captured by the British in the Seven Years War (1756-63), men who insisted on calling Sissinghurst &#8216;le chateaux&#8217; \u2013 creating its current name.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Leeds Castle<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-7528\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2017\/02\/iStock-120800767-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Stately Homes\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/iStock-120800767-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/iStock-120800767-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/iStock-120800767-330x220.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/iStock-120800767-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/iStock-120800767-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/iStock-120800767.jpg 1698w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Famous for being one of Henry VIII&#8217;s fairy tale pit-stops en route to the tournament of the Field of the Cloth of Gold (1520), Leeds Castle rises solid, yet ethereal, from its misty moat.
