Whilst not strictly set at Sissinghurst, Kate Morton’s book was heavily inspired by this castle and gardens. Milderhurst Castle as it appears in the book ‘The Distant Hours’, has a majestic tower where a writer lives with his three daughters.
He writes in his tower (exactly where real life inhabitants Rita Sackville West and her husband wrote) The tower becomes an integral part of the plot and the Kent countryside comes to live through Morton’s evocative writing. It’s an homage to this wondrous literary linked home.

The delightful tale of a young couple who in the late 1970s, on impulse, became the new landlords of the most remote, bleak and lonely pub – The Tan Hill Inn – located in the bleak landscape of the Yorkshire Dales. Having seen an article in the newspaper about the pub's search for a new manager, they arrived just three weeks later as the new landlords of The Tan Hill Inn. It is a wild, wind-swept place, set alone in a sea of peat bog and heather moorland that stretches unbroken as far as the eye can see …
