I visited Chilham Castle Gardens a few years ago. They sometimes have open days, so it's worth checking their website. I couldn't go inside the castle, but the gardens were lovely. As you walk around the grounds, you can still see part of the original Norman castle, which you can't see from the entrance, where you were. And then when you leave the castle, you're in one of the prettiest villages in the area!

We will have to keep an eye out on their website - thanks for the tip!

Chilham is a beautiful little village, I really like the half timbered houses! Yes, the Woolpack is Emmerdale’s pub. Jason, It was funny when you spoke to the sheep and they stopped and looked at you! The sound of falls any creek, River is enchanting, love listening to them.

Elephant House is named as such because elephants were kept there in the 1800s. I toured the garden and there are archways that housed them but they are bricked up now.

Interesting fact, there is a tunnel under the square from the church to the castle. This was for the rich castle dweller to gain sanctuary in the church way back.

Some time ago you asked about places you should visit. It's unbelievable, but with Chilham you have actually visited all of my suggestions (even if it was probably not because of me😂 ). Thank you so much! What you really missed in Chilham were the cream tea and sandwiches in Shelly 's Tea Rooms. They are really great. Thanks again for your fantastic work.
@JJExtra3 жыл бұрын
It more than likely was because of you! We note down any suggestions people give us and when we need somewhere to go we refer back to it 😃
@grimmsdestiny3 жыл бұрын
@@JJExtra If so, I have another suggestion for you. I was very fond of Rye. It's a good hour's drive from you and is a really nice little town. As a dog owner, I was very pleased that dogs were allowed in the local church. As a result, our family was finally able to visit a building together without someone outside having to look after the dog. The castle, just a few meters from the church, is also worth a look.
