Situation
Charing is a large, mostly agricultural, village set in the Ashford district of Kent at the foot of the North Downs astride one of the main routes from London to Dover, and for centuries owned by the Archbishops of Canterbury. This historic village offers the perfect mix of period charm and 21st century convenience. Today it is a thriving community with an attractive high street lined with a picturesque mix of period buildings at its heart, the most famous of which is the Archbishop’s Palace, where Henry VIII was once a guest. But Charing is no museum piece; a number of independent shops cater for most day-to-day needs, and the village also boasts a Church of England primary school, a library and a doctor’s surgery. Thanks to the nearby A20 trunk road, considerably more extensive shopping, entertainment and other amenities are close at hand in Ashford, some 6 miles away. Both Maidstone and Canterbury can be reached in under half an hour. Finally, Charing Station is less than 5 minutes walk which offers regular services into London with average journey times of 1 hr 20 minutes, while the proximity of Ashford International brings even more exciting travel possibilities within easy reach, including London in 37 minutes.
