Sissinghurst Castle Garden

Day trip by British Pullman train to Sissinghurst Castle Garden

Illustration of Sissinghurst Castle Garden

Belmond runs this single-day excursion aboard the British Pullman, a round trip through the Kent countryside to Sissinghurst Castle Garden. Liveried stewards serve a three-course brunch on the outward journey in art deco carriages dating from the 1920s and '30s, before travelers transfer by coach to Sissinghurst Castle Garden, a six-acre estate that was formerly the home of Vita Sackville-West and Harold Nicolson. After time to explore the gardens, travelers return to the train for a champagne reception and a four-course British dinner with wine, cheeseboard, and coffee as the train makes its way back to London. This suits travelers who want a self-contained day combining fine dining with a visit to one of England's well known gardens, without an overnight commitment.
