 | Situated in the beautiful Weald of Kent, Chiddingstone Castle was originally a medieval manor, but at the beginning of the 18th century, it was rebuilt as a Carolean mansion. |
 | The castle also houses a substantial Buddhist collection, emanating from Eyre Bower's particular interest in Japanese culture and the influence this form of religion had in their society. |
 | Whatever your interests, Chiddingstone Castle is simply a delight, and the village has a lovely church and several fascinating buildings. |
