The busy village of Challock sits on a hill and its name dates back to Saxon times and many of the wells that served the old village around the church can still be traced. The ancient church of St Cosmas and St Damian was built in the 13th century and boasts one of only two remaining candle beams in the country.

Both friendly pubs in the village serve food and the village has a general store as well as a farm shop selling fresh, local produce. A doctor's surgery is held in the village every Thursday afternoon and there is a pre-school playgroup every morning except Thursdays during the term time.

Just a few of the many activities to be enjoyed in the village are Cricket Club, Football Club, Gliding Club, Roaring 20s Club, junior Tap Dancing, Youth Club, Drama Group, Dog Club, Folk Dancing, Badminton and Table Tennis.

Finally the village benefits from easy access to Ashford, Canterbury, Faversham and the A20 to Maidstone.
