Nestled within a 300-acre estate, Chilham Castle - once owned by Henry VIII - has hosted kings, queens, and historic celebrations for over eight centuries. Its mesmerising landscapes, featuring gardens designed by the legendary Capability Brown, offer sweeping views across the Stour Valley. The ancient tree-lined avenues, secret gardens, and wild woodlands - once said to have inspired Shakespeare and Jane Austen - remain untouched, as if suspended in time.

Set within this extraordinary setting, Chilham Park unfolds as a vast expanse of private parkland defined by quiet majesty and enduring equestrian tradition. With its undulating terrain and far-reaching vistas, the park has long been regarded as one of England’s most distinguished rural estates. It has hosted national and international horse trials, drawing elite riders from across the country, and continues to uphold a legacy of excellence in horsemanship. Today, Chilham Park offers a rarefied setting for riding, training, and private events - its natural contours providing both challenge and beauty in equal measure.

In addition to its sporting heritage, Chilham Park now offers a select number of luxury equine therapy retreats, created for individuals seeking a deeper, more meaningful connection with horses. These ground-based, non-riding experiences are conducted in the privacy of the estate and are tailored with discretion and care. Through considered interaction in the presence of horses, participants are invited into a process of emotional clarity, personal reflection, and inner recalibration. Set within an atmosphere of seclusion and natural elegance, the retreats provide a quiet and powerful space to reconnect - with oneself and with your horse.

Chilham Park remains one of the great private landscapes of southern England. Its open pastures, ancient woodlands, and far-reaching views across the Stour Valley hold a sense of continuity rarely encountered today.
