It is bounded on the north, south and west by the North Downs offering fantastic walks through the countryside. In the heart of the village, there is a beautiful fifteenth century market square with some exquisite period buildings, including The White Horse pub and a traditional village tearoom. Due to its attractive, unspoilt appearance, the village has often been used as a film location for Miss Marple, Poirot and Jane Austen's Emma and was listed third in the Sunday Times 'Best Places-to live in the South East' in 2016. The village is also served by a post office, a primary school, The Woolpack public house, a railway station, a children’s playground, the village hall, a tennis club and a sports centre. The village is also home to Chilham Castle and the 15th century Church of St Mary, which is reputed to have Thomas Beckett buried within the churchyard.
