Cranbrook is a small town in the Weald of Kent in South East England. It lies roughly half-way between Maidstone and Hastings, about 38 miles southeast of central London. The place name Cranbrook derives from Old English cran broc, meaning Crane Marsh, marshy ground frequented by cranes (although more probably herons). Spelling of the place name has evolved over the centuries from Cranebroca (c. 1100); by 1226 it was recorded as Cranebroc, then Cranebrok. By 1610 the name had become Cranbrooke, which evolved into the current spelling.
Located on the Maidstone to Hastings road, it is five miles north of Hawkhurst. The smaller settlements of Swattenden, Colliers Green and Hartley lie within the parish. Baker's Cross is on the eastern outskirts of the town. Cranbrook is on the Hastings Beds, alternating sands and clays which are more resistant to erosion than the surrounding clays and so form the hills of the High Weald. The geology of the area has played a major role in the town's development, deposits of iron ore and fuller's earth were important in the iron industry and cloth industry respectively.
During the 19th century, a group of artists known as the Cranbrook Colony were located here. The Colony artists tended to paint scenes of domestic life in rural Kent – cooking and washing, children playing, and other family activities.
Queen's Hall Theatre, part of Cranbrook School, sponsors many theatre groups, including the Cambridge Footlights and Cranbrook Opera and Dramatic Society (CODS). The Showtimers pantomime group produces an annual show. Cranbrook Town Band, founded in the 1920s, is a British-style brass band, which performs regular concerts in the Queen's Hall, St Dunstan's Church and around Kent.
There are many medieval buildings in the area. At Wilsley Green, to the north of the town, is a Grade I-listed Wealden hall house and cloth hall that dates to the late 14th century. There are a number of medieval cloth halls around the town - the George Hotel is in one dating to 1400, there are two more further down the High St on the north side dating from the late 15th century and 16th century. There are 15th century examples at Goddards Green Farm on Angley Rd, Hill House on The Hill, and on Friezley Lane.
Glassenbury Park is a late-15th-century manor house on the road to Iden Green with a 1730s front block, remodelled in 1877-79 by Anthony Salvia. Wilsley Hotel was originally built in 1864-70 as a home for the Colony artist John Callcott Horsley, designer of the first Christmas card twenty years earlier. The architect was Richard Norman Shaw in his first important domestic commission. The war memorial was erected on Angley Road in 1920.

Umgebungspunkte: Kent / Cranbrook, Leeds Castle Maidstone, Dartford, Ashford, Canterbury, Kreidefelsen Dover, London.
Sissinghurst Castle Garden ist ein historischer Landsitz in der englischen Grafschaft Kent, etwa 40 Kilometer südwestlich von Canterbury. Berühmt geworden ist der Garten, der ab 1930 von Vita Sackville-West und ihrem Mann Harold Nicolson angelegt wurde und der in dieser Form erhalten wurde. Heute ist Sissinghurst im Besitz des National Trust. Die für die Öffentlichkeit zugängliche Anlage zählt mit mehr als 160.000 zahlenden Besuchern jährlich zu einer der beliebtesten Gartenanlagen der Welt. Die Wohnanlage besteht aus fünf einzeln stehenden Gebäuden: Dem Haupthaus, der langen Bibliothek, dem (Doppel-)Turm, dem South Cottage sowie dem Priest's House.
Harold Nicolson und Vita Sackville-West unterteilten das rund fünf Hektar große Gelände in zehn abgeschlossene Gartenräume. Als ‚Wände‘ dienen mehr als mannshohe, akkurat geschnittene Eibenhecken; aber auch erhaltene Mauern ehemaliger Gebäude wurden mit einbezogen.
Jeder der ‚Gärten im Garten‘ hat ein bestimmtes Thema; so gibt es den Weißen Garten, den Rosengarten und den Kräutergarten. Die Gestaltung des Gartens verbindet eine große Schlichtheit der Gesamtanlage mit opulenter Bepflanzung.

Harold Nicolson and Vita Sackville-West split the approximately five hectare site in ten completed garden spaces. When, walls' are more than man-high, accurately cut yew hedges; well preserved walls of former buildings were involved.
Each of the, gardens in the garden 'has a specific theme; so there is the white garden, the rose garden and the herb garden. The design of the garden combines a great simplicity of the entire system with opulent planting.

Sissinghurst Castle Cranbrook Kent - Vita Sackville West's Garden
If you like gardens this must be one of the best in the country, it is set out as a number of rooms each time you turn a corner or move around you a greeted with new views. There is also some footage taken from the top of the tower, a bit shaky I'm afraid but a lovely view. Sissinghurst Castle is a National Trust property and definitely worth a visit.
The background music is an oldtimey tune called 14 days in Georgia from a 1926 recording by the Blueridge Highballers.
