Chestfield is a semi-rural village and civil parish in the district of Canterbury, Kent, England, lying on gently rolling chalk downland a short distance from the north Kent coast. The landscape is dominated by farmland, woodland and a well-regarded golf course, and its setting gives a mix of peaceful countryside with easy access to seaside amenities.
Historically built around agriculture and local estates, the village today has a quiet, community-focused feel and serves largely as a commuter base with rail links at Swalecliffe and straightforward road connections into Canterbury and London. Local life revolves around village facilities and events, while nearby Whitstable and the coast draw visitors and influence the local economy.
