About Cheriton

Cheriton carries the quiet dignity of a place that has seen seasons turn and generations pass. It lies 2.8 km west-north-west of Folkestone (from Folkestone: bearing 284°T, OS grid TR 200 367), and is situated south-east of Peene village. The broad sweep of the North Downs forms a constant, reassuring presence to the north, their chalky contours catching the morning light in soft, diffused hues. Though now primarily a residential area, the land around Cheriton still whispers of its agricultural past, with fields that once yielded harvests now giving way to the ordered rows of suburban homes. The parish church, St. Martin's, stands as a steadfast sentinel, its ancient stone a testament to enduring faith and the passage of centuries. A subtle scent of damp earth and distant sea air often drifts across Cheriton, a reminder of its proximity to the coast.
