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

By exploring this site, and the Links page, you will discover the fascinating story of the
Castle Inn and the beautiful surroundings of the High Weald and Kent's Natural Environment

Stay at one of the many superb family run Bed and Breakfasts hidden away all around the Castle Inn to make Chiddingstone the centre from which to discover the delights of the area on foot, by bicycle, or by car
