Chilham Kent Map

About Chilham

Chilham rests in a gentle fold of Kentish landscape, its ancient timbers and mellow brickwork catching the soft southern light. It lies 9.0 km west-south-west of Canterbury (from Canterbury: bearing 244°T, OS grid TR 068 536), and is situated south-south-west of Old Wives Lees village. The heart of Chilham beats around its handsome market square, a space where the dignified presence of the Jacobean manor house, Chilham Castle, presides over the cobbled expanse. Here, the air often carries the faint, sweet scent of the surrounding hop fields, a fragrant reminder of the agricultural bounty that has long sustained this corner of England. The village church, St Mary's, with its sturdy Norman tower, stands as a silent witness to centuries of quiet passage, its stones worn smooth by the hands of time and the breath of countless seasons. Chilham breathes a character of enduring grace, a place where the past feels not a distant echo, but a living presence.
