The White Horse
Off the A28 near Canterbury, narrow lanes climb up through Kentish hills to open out unexpectedly into Chilham's village square, one of Kent's showpieces. Chilham is used to visitors; for 350 years, after Thomas a Becket's murder, travellers used to pass through on the Pilgrims' Way from Winchester and London to his shrine in Canterbury Cathedral. Today the North Downs Way passes through the town.
