Use the pictures on the ‘Trail of Curiosities’ sheet to find curiosities in the castle rooms. Try out the ‘Trail of Curiosities Quiz’ sheet to look closer and learn more about the objects.
Fields of Eternity: Ancient Egyptian equivalent of heaven, the Fields of Eternity were a perfect version of Egypt, where every good person would live forever in the afterlife. Chiddingstone Castle’s Fields of Eternity — you will find them beyond the lawn in front of the main entrance — are similarly a microcosm of Ancient Egypt. A cross between grass-maze, garden and trail, they offer the chance to explore various zones; and they provide all ages with a pleasant place in which to walk, to play and to discover.
Fishing: Book Fishing online, We ask that all fishermen behave respectfully towards the Castle staff and other visitors and abide by a few rules to ensure everyone is safe.
