Known for

A little history
The chalybeate spring discovered in 1606 made Tunbridge Wells the first English spa resort. The Pantiles — laid out in the 17th century — is one of the finest colonnaded walks in southern England. The town was granted Royal status by Edward VII in 1909. 'Disgusted of Tunbridge Wells' became a byword for suburban conservatism.
The Pantiles is genuinely beautiful — the spring still flows. The Pantiles area for excellent independent food. Dunorlan Park. The Chalybeate Spring for a sip of the original spa water.
