The undoubted highlight of any visit to Goodnestone is a visit to the delightful Park Gardens.

A stroll around the village is worthwhile as there are a number of interesting buildings.

For the more energetic, there are details of a varied 4 1/2 mile walk around the parish on Kent County Council's website.

Chillenden windmill is open on Sunday afternoons in the summer from 2:30pm - 4:30pm, and will be open from May 2012. Entrance costs £1 for adults with no charge for children. A guide will be on hand to show you around the mill and explain the fascinating history of the building.

There is free parking at Goodnestone Park Gardens or along The Street. Please be considerate when parking, as it can get a little tight in places.

Goodnestone was selected as one of the ten most romantic places to visit in Kent according to Kent Life in February 2012 due to its connections with Jane Austen who often visited here.
