Tunbridge Wells is a sizable town and borough in western Kent, located about 40 miles (30 minutes by train) southeast of central London. It lies near the East Sussex county border and at the northern edge of the High Weald, whose sandstone geology is showcased by the rock formations at Wellington Rocks and High Rocks. The area has some of the best scenery in the county and a great network of footpaths to discover the natural beauty of the High Weald,whichsurrounds the main town of Royal Tunbridge Wells.

Explore the charming colonnaded walkway known as the Pantiles, home to an array of specialist shops, open-air cafes, restaurants, and bars. Once a retreat for gentry and royalty, the Pantiles today offers a delightful spot for shopping, dining, and leisure.

In contrast to the lively spa town, the Seven Wonders of the Weald offer unique attractions. Venture through forests, vineyards, and gardens, visit The Spa Valley Railway and museums, and enjoy the medieval towns and villages of Cranbrook, Goudhurst, Hawkhurst, Brenchley, and Lamberhurst, which are ideal for appreciating the region’s hop-picking heritage and ale brewing history.
