Chiddingstone Castle

Chiddingstone Castle dates from the early 19th century, but incorporates elements of earlier buildings on the same site. From the early 16th century to the end of the 19th century it was the seat of the Streatfeild family. Since 1977, the castle and its grounds have been held in trust for the nation by the Denys Eyre Bower Bequest and are open to the public.

 

It is reputed to be haunted by the apparitions a woman wearing 18th century clothing who rides a horse side-saddle up the lane to the castle.
