Some Interesting Royal Tunbridge Wells Info
Royal Tunbridge Wells is a west Kent town about 31 miles (50 km) southeast of central London, bordering the county of East Sussex. It is situated at the northern edge of the High Weald, the sandstone geology of which is exemplified by the rock formations at the Wellington Rocks and High Rocks.
The town came into being as a spa in Georgian times when the Pantiles and its chalybeate spring attracted visitors who wished to take the waters.
Royal Tunbridge Wells remains a popular tourist destination.
Royal Tunbridge Wells contains green spaces that range from woodland to maintained grounds and parks. The most substantial areas of woodland are the Tunbridge Wells and Rusthall Commons, which comprise 250 acres of wood and heathland and are close to the centre of the town. Open areas of the common are popular picnic spots and there is a maintained cricket ground situated next to Wellington Rocks.
There are also the Calverley Grounds in the centre of Royal Tunbridge Wells which is a historic park with ornamental gardens and a bandstand. The park was part of Mount Pleasant House - which was converted into a hotel in 1837 - until 1920 when the Borough Council purchased it for the town. The bandstand dates from 1924.
