Chiddingstone Causeway: a railway village with Wealden character

Chiddingstone Causeway is a village in Kent within the Sevenoaks district, standing between Tonbridge, Edenbridge and Penshurst. Unlike some older Wealden settlements, it developed in more recognisable modern form around Penshurst station, which was built to provide rail access to Penshurst Place and to connect the area more easily with London and west Kent. The district around the village also has older industrial roots, having formed part of the Wealden ironworking landscape. Today the village keeps the feel of a small linear settlement focused on road, rail and church.
Distance: about 6 miles west of Tonbridge and close to Penshurst and Chiddingstone.
Traditions and culture: village life centres on church, pub and station, while the surrounding countryside places it firmly within the historic culture of the Kentish Weald.
Highlights: St Luke's Church, the Little Brown Jug, Penshurst station, the nearby heritage of RAF Penshurst and access to the landscape around Penshurst Place and the Medway-Weald border country.
