Goodmorning Mr Darcy

The North Downs Way passes through the charming village of Chilham. The fifteenth century village square was the starting point for todays walk. Off the square is a twelfth century church and Chilham Castle dating from 1616. This pretty village in Kent is also associated with Jane Austen. She often spent time here visiting her brother. The idyllic countryside inspired her, and 'Pride and Prejudice' was written here in 1796.

All that walking through woodlands taking in stunning views across the Kent countryside could only end with a good hearty meal at the local pub!

  3. I love P&P and this photo. It has a frost-like feel to it, eventhough I know it is just the plant. Enjoy some Guienness for me.
