  • Landscape Assessment of Kent 2004
    CHILHAM: STOUR VALLEY Location map: CHILHAMCHARACTER AREA DESCRIPTION North of Bilting, the Stour Valley becomes increasingly enclosed. The rolling sides of the valley support large arable fields in the east, while sweeps of parkland belonging to Godmersham Park and Chilham Castle cover most of the western slopes. On either side of the valley, dense woodland dominate the skyline and a number of substantial shaws and plantations on the lower slopes reflect the importance of game cover in this area. On the valley bottom, the river is picked out in places by waterside alders and occasional willows. The railway line is obscured for much of its length by trees. STOUR VALLEY Chilham lies within the larger character area of the Stour Valley within the Kent Downs AONB. The Great Stour is the most easterly of the three rivers cutting through the Downs. Like the Darent and the Medway, it too provided an early access route into the heart of Kent and formed an ancient focus for settlement. Today the Stour Valley is highly valued for the quality of its landscape, especially by the considerable numbers of walkers who follow the Stour Valley Walk or the North Downs Way National Trail. Despite its proximity to both Canterbury and Ashford, the Stour Valley retains a strong rural identity. Enclosed by steep scarps on both sides, with dense woodlands on the upper slopes, the valley is dominated by intensively farmed arable fields interspersed by broad sweeps of mature parkland. Unusually, there are no electricity pylons cluttering the views across the valley. North of Bilting, the river flows through a narrow, pastoral floodplain, dotted with trees such as willow and alder and drained by small ditches.

We depend on your feedback: [email protected] Public rights are restricted to printing, copying or distributing this document exactly as seen here, complete and without any cutting or editing. See Principles on main webpage. Grassy meadows, views, woodland, gastropub In Brief Here is a quiet walk through central Kent countryside with sudden great views as you emerge from the woodland paths. Along the way you pass nothing more strenuous than a a long green pasture with a herd of sheep grazing. A star feature of this walk is The Compasses , a gastropub which seems to have grown in esteem since this website first featured it in another walk (from Wye Downs). (For enquiries, ring 01227-700300.) This walk can be combined in a figure-of-eight with the Chilham 7-mile walk to make a very satisfying 10 mile=16 km walk. See the “chain link” points for where to join or leave this walk. You can also combine this walk with the Wye Downs walk to make a more challenging 13 mile=20½ km walk. (You could even “do the triple”.) There are very few nettles on this walk and the undergrowth is minimal, confined to the woods. The terrain was completely dry when it was first trod in August but there might be damp patches in the woods.
