"Chestnut Hill, located in northwestern Philly, is known for its architecture. In some ways, it resembles a Victorian country retreat more than a modern and urban neighborhood. The buildings come with a lot of history, like the picturesque Inglewood Cottage and Druim Moir Castle (yes, there’s an actual castle in Philadelphia). Chestnut Hill also has a variety of small shops and boutiques and hosts annual festivals that keep the neighborhood lively." - MATADOR_NETWORK
