Simply England at its best - rolling hills and wooded valleys dotted with orchards, vineyards and hop gardens, picturesque villages, historic towns, castles, gardens and ancient country houses - all in the beautiful countryside of the Garden of England
The Castle Inn nestles in one corner of Chiddingstone, arguably the prettiest village in Kent, much loved by filmmakers the world over. 'Room with a View' is instantly recognisable. Michael Winner brought his production of 'The Wicked Lady' here, Terry Jones and the "Monty Python" team filmed 'Wind in the Willows'. 'Elizabeth R', starring Glenda Jackson was largely made here, as was Gerald Scarfe's 'Life of Hogarth'. Bearing in mind the Castle Inn was here when the real Elizabeth R was on the throne, and had been for over one hundred years, the Castle Inn has centuries of experience welcoming visitors. If you're very fortunate you might stumble across some Morris Dancers
