About Chitty, Kent
Chitty emerges from the flat, low-lying plains of Kent as a singular collection of dwellings defined by the quietude of the surrounding fields. It lies 3.9 miles south-east of Herne Bay (from Herne Bay: bearing 126°T, OS grid TR 229 646), and is situated south-east of Boyden Gate village. The horizon here is dominated by the expansive, open skies of the Stour marshes, where the light shifts with a pale, mercurial intensity across the damp earth. To the east, the Sarre Penn traces a slow, winding path through the reeds, its waters reflecting the grey-blue canopy of the South East. Chitty maintains a modest presence, its lanes bordered by hedgerows that seem to hold the memory of long-vanished agricultural traditions. Rising slightly to the south-east, the slopes of Walmers Hill offer a vantage point from which the intricate network of drainage ditches and ancient field boundaries becomes plain to the eye. The air often carries a sharp, saline tang, a reminder of the proximity to the coast that defines the temperament of this particular corner of the district. Life in Chitty proceeds in accordance with the seasonal migrations of birds that frequent the nearby wetlands, grounding the hamlet in a cycle far older than its weathered brickwork.
