Around Chilham

There are lovely country walks on footpaths that run directly from the cottage, from a few minutes up to many hours. The cottage lies on the North Downs Way, which is also the old Pilgrim’s Way to Canterbury.

There are many superb gastropubs and restaurants within a few minutes drive. Kent is a fast emerging wine growing area, and the village has a wine bar dedicated entirely to Kentish wines.

Canterbury is one of England’s most historic market towns, with one of the country’s greatest cathedrals.

Many other charming towns are nearby - Whitstable, Margate, Faversham, Folkestone, and others.

Chilham is about two hours from Heathrow Airport and 90 minutes from Gatwick Airport.

London is very accessible for day trips. There are trains from Chilham directly to Charing Cross (1hr 40 mins) or via Ashford and the high speed train to St Pancras (1 hr).
