Hoath Corner is a small rural hamlet located in the county of Kent, in southeastern England. Situated approximately 10 miles east of the historic city of Canterbury, Hoath Corner is nestled amidst the picturesque countryside of the Garden of England.

Characterized by its tranquil and idyllic setting, Hoath Corner is surrounded by vast expanses of green fields, rolling hills, and dense woodlands. The hamlet consists of a handful of residential properties, including traditional cottages and farmhouses, which contribute to the area's charming and rustic atmosphere.

Hoath Corner is a popular destination for those seeking a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of urban life. The surrounding countryside offers numerous opportunities for outdoor activities, such as hiking, cycling, and horseback riding. The area is also home to a variety of wildlife, making it a haven for nature enthusiasts and birdwatchers.

Despite its rural nature, Hoath Corner benefits from good transportation links. The nearby A291 road provides easy access to surrounding towns and villages, and the city of Canterbury is just a short drive away. Additionally, the hamlet is served by local bus routes, connecting residents to wider transport networks.

While Hoath Corner lacks amenities such as shops and schools, these can be found in nearby villages, ensuring that residents have access to essential services. The hamlet's secluded location and natural beauty make it an attractive place to live for those seeking a peaceful and close-knit community in the heart of the Kentish countryside.

View towards Horseshoe Green The large barn is part of Horseshoe Green Farm, and seems to be a milking barn, judging by the number of cows in the yard and the loud humming noise radiating from it when passed at about 16:45.

A barren field The field seems to have been sprayed with weedkiller before much grew - the principal recoloniser, or more likely, survivor, is a Dock. The white patch is not water, but the remains of a heap of some material like lime. The woodland beyond is Stock Wood.

Chiddingstone Castle Grade II* Listed Chiddingstone Castle was an early timber-framed Tudor house inhabited by the Streatfeild family. It was partly transformed in the late 17th or early 18th century as a Carolean mansion and again during the early 1800s when the then owner, Squire Henry Streatfeild, decided to rebuild the house to resemble a medieval castle and commissioned William Atkinson to design the changes (designs exhibited Royal Academy 1838). Atkinson’s plans were never completed and the castle’s transformation was partially finished according to Henry Kendall’s design during the 1830s. The Streatfeilds did not occupy the castle after 1900 and finally sold it to Lord Astor in 1938. In this period the Castle suffered quite severely from a general lack of maintenance and sheer neglect. Moreover, it was occupied by the Army during World War II. After the war the building continued to deteriorate as home for the Long Dene school until 1954 when the school was closed. Denys Eyre Bower bought the castle in 1955 and gave it a new lease of life opening it up to visitors to view his collections. The castle was reopened in 2008 by the Denys Eyre Bower Bequest Charity Trust after a period of restoration and now has over 10,000 visitors a year. The Miniature 35-acre 19th century park containing Georgian gothic buildings was devastated in the 1987 gales.
