FIND the places you didn't know were here 🧭

Sometimes the best days out aren't the ones you've planned months in advance.

They're the unexpected discoveries.

FIND your way to Chilham, one of Kent’s best-kept secrets. With its beautiful medieval square, timber-framed houses and historic charm, it’s no surprise that Chilham has become a favourite film and TV location — appearing in productions including A Canterbury Tale, Emma, Poirot and Miss Marple.

Whether you're discovering hidden heritage, enjoying a scenic stroll or simply soaking up the village atmosphere, Chilham is a hidden gem waiting to be found.

When it’s time for refreshments, Chilham has you covered. ☕🍰 You’ll find a charming tearoom in the village square, perfect for a cream tea or homemade cake, along with a couple of traditional pubs serving food and drinks. 🍻🥂
