I enjoyed revising Chiddingstone with my brother who was visiting from Thailand. We both went to school here many years ago and it interesting to see what hads changed and is still the same. We also visited the chiddingstone stone, which we used to play round when we were at the school.

We visited Chiddingstone Village on a Sunday and parked at Chiddingstone Castle car park, then enjoyed a lovely walk through the parkland into the village. The charming Chiddingstone Village Store & Post Office was open, adding to the welcoming feel. We wandered around for a bit, squeezed into The Castle Inn for a well-earned pint, then walked to see the historic Chiddingstone Stone. After that, we stopped at The Tulip Tree Tearoom for a delicious cup of tea and cake (toilets are located outside the tearoom). We then walked back to Chiddingstone Castle and enjoyed a peaceful stroll around the grounds, as the castle itself is closed until March. St Mary the Virgin Church was also closed, but the village was still absolutely beautiful. A truly lovely, picture-perfect place to visit—even in winter.

A beautiful English village filled with buckets of history, the church, pub, village shop and surrounding houses give a complete immersive experience for all visitors. The whole village is friendly, clean and exciting to explore. We took photos of medieval, georgian and victorian costumes here with the lovely villagers and had an entertaining time filled with laughter.

Tiny Tudor village dating back to the mid 15th century, with a picturesque including some delightful half timbered buildings. The village was purchased by the National Trust in 1939, ensuring its survival. It's free to visit, and is home to a post office and village shop, attractive church and a pub. Just outside the village is the privately owned Chiddingstone Castle, a separately charged attraction housing collections, with pleasant gardens to explore. A short walk behind the Tudor street leads to the Chiding Stone, an unusual sandstone outcrop that gave the village its name. There's a small amount of on street parking at the edge of the village, though bear in mind people do live and work here so consider the locals when parking

Beautiful little one street village. Despite living just a few miles away, I had never visited before so glad I got the opportunity to do so. Parking in the village is free, although on busier days it may be better to park at the castle. A nice cosy tearoom hides down one alley (they make great cake), and a lovely country pub is by the pedestrian entrance to the castle. The buildings themselves are gorgeous, the sort of buildings you would imagine an English village to look like. There's also a church you can visit, we were lucky enough to be the only people inside so it was very serene. Make sure you check out the village's namesake, tucked away down an alley so it's easy to miss! The view from the top is beautiful and looks put over fields. If you're as lucky as we were you'll also catch birds of prey flying overhead.
