Nestled in unspoilt countryside, historic Chiddingstone Castle offers a memorable day out.

The former home of the late antiquarian Denys Eyre Bower, the castle now houses his fascinating Ancient Egyptian, Buddhist, Stuart, Jacobite and Japanese collections, including incredible Samurai armour and swords. Discover Victorian ‘upstairs downstairs’ rooms and enjoy dressing up and craft activities.

The castle sits in 35 acres of beautiful grounds complete with a lake, a rose garden, woodland walks and an award-winning Grade II listed Orangery. In 2014 the castle opened a new garden - the Fields of Eternity - an Ancient Egyptian grass maze with exciting discoveries.

The delightful Tea Room located in the former Buttery also has sunny courtyard seating and serves delicious home-made cakes, traditional cream teas and light lunches. The Tudor National Trust village of Chiddingstone can be accessed from the grounds.
