Lovers of traveling often look for strange things in cities. Something that arouses curiosity. Because of this, sometimes even the main attractions of the city become dull. Something similar seems to be happening in a city in Kent, England. It is claimed to be the most beautiful village in Kent or England. People are drawn here not because of some beautiful buildings, but because of a film.
Most of the buildings in Chiddingstone are beautiful and over 200 years old. Most of the place here is under the control of the National Trust, which had purchased much of the place here in 1939 so that it could be conserved. There is a 135 million year old limestone stone here which has some stories on its historical importance. This village is named after him which is called Chidding Stone.
People come from far and wide to see it. A lot is also said about the purpose of this big stone. But no one is in a position to confirm those claims. According to some, this is an allusion to the Saxon border, within which was the area for the people of ancient Britain to judge.
