Welcome to Cheriton

Cheriton is a small village located in the county of Kent, England. It is situated on the edge of the North Downs and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. The village has a rich history dating back to the Roman times, and there are many historic buildings and landmarks to explore. One of the most notable landmarks is the Church of St. Martin, which dates back to the 12th century and is a Grade I listed building.

Cheriton is also known for its involvement in the English Civil War. In 1644, the Battle of Cheriton took place just outside the village, where the Parliamentarian forces defeated the Royalists. Today, there is a monument to commemorate the battle, and the site is a popular destination for history enthusiasts.

Despite its small size, Cheriton has a strong sense of community and is home to a range of local amenities. There are several pubs, restaurants, and shops in the village, as well as a primary school and a community centre. The village is also well-connected, with easy access to the nearby towns of Folkestone and Canterbury, as well as the rest of Kent and London via the M20 motorway and the high-speed rail link. Overall, Cheriton is a charming and historic village that offers a peaceful and picturesque setting for residents and visitors alike.
