Location :
Chilham is a historic and quintessentially English village on the outskirts of Canterbury and is set in the attractive valley of the River Stour. It is bounded on the north, south and west by the North Downs offering fantastic walks through the countryside. In the heart of the village, there is a beautiful fifteenth century market square with some exquisite period buildings, including The White Horse pub and a traditional village tearoom.

Due to its attractive, unspoilt appearance, the village has often been used as a film location for Miss Marple, Poirot and Jane Austen's Emma and was listed third in the Sunday Times 'Best Places-to live in the South East' in 2016.

The village is also served by a post office, a primary school, The Woolpack public house, a railway station, a children’s playground, the village hall, a tennis club and a sports centre.

The village is also home to Chilham Castle and the 15th century Church of St Mary, which is reputed to have Thomas Beckett buried within the churchyard.

Chilham has a regular bus service into Canterbury and the train station which is 0.5 miles away which has services that run into Canterbury West and Ashford International.

The nearby Cathedral city of Canterbury (7 miles) and the market town of Ashford (9 miles) offer a superb range of shopping, recreational and educational amenities, including a selection of both private and state grammar schools both of which have mainline railway stations which connect with London Victoria and London St Pancras, with a fast service running from Ashford International station to London St Pancras in just 37 minutes.

The area is very well served by road connections, with the A2/M2 (4 miles) and the M20 (from Ashford). The Channel Tunnel at Folkestone (24 miles) provides a regular shuttle service to the Continent, whilst the Port of Dover (22 miles) also provides regular ferry crossings to the continent.
