Calverley Park
by Mariajoy
Not my favourite thing about Tunbridge Wells - but vaguely interesting is the memorial to Air Chief Marshal Lord Dowding - who once lived within the park grounds . (On a bench?? No, probably not :))
More historical info can be found at the Tunbridge Wells Museum site.
Royal Tunbridge Wells
by grayfo
Royal Tunbridge Wells, now part of commuter land, lies at the heart of one of the most scenic stretches of countryside in England. In Georgian times this popular spa town gained a reputation as the place to see and be seen amongst royalty and fashionable members of the aristocracy, the old buildings that remain reflect this heritage, especially in the Pantilles where the spring still exists.
Retaining much of the charm and elegance of its Georgian heyday, Royal Tunbridge Wells today has all the modern amenities, a large number of shops, cinema, hotels, etc with some nice countryside around it reflected in the town's pleasant Common.
