Encyclopedia > Chiddingstone Castle

Chiddingstone Castle is situated in the village of Chiddingstone in the upper valley of the River Medway. There is a good website here (http://www.theheritagetrail.co.uk/manor%20houses/chiddingstone%20castle.htm). It does not mention that the village itself is owned by the National Trust; and the castle is not!

Chiddingstone Castle (424 words)
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.
