Surrounding Area
Royal Tunbridge Wells lies at the heart of one of the most scenic stretches of countryside in England, surrounded by the unspoilt beauty of the Weald.

Retaining much of the charm and elegance of its Georgian heyday, Royal Tunbridge Wells and the surrounding area remains a favoured destination for those who want to enjoy elegant surroundings in the countryside, a short distance from the hustle and bustle of London.
