	These gorgeous gardens, previously owned and developed by Vita Sackville-West and her husband, are a delight to visit, and a real inspiration for any gardener (or would-be gardener!). The gardens are divided up into "rooms" with various themes, for example, the famous white garden - and these are great fun for children to explore. If they need further encouragement, there is a children's quiz available from the ticket office. Children may also enjoy climbing the steps to the top of the tower, which affords wonderful views of the gardens. Light refreshments are available at the Coffee Shop, or enjoy a meal at the Granary Restaurant, which has lots of tasty and nutritious choices just for children, with half-portions of all the hot dishes also available.
	Open: 19th March - 30th October Friday - Tuesday : 11.00 - 18.30 Admission: Adult: £7.50 Child: £3.50 Family: £18.50 Free to National Trust members
	Other notes: Gold star award for great children's menu The paths within the formal gardens are quite narrow in places, so pushchairs are not permitted in the garden areas. Baby carriers for infants and toddlers are available for loan.
