Royal Tunbridge Wells Attractions

 
A good center from which to explore the North Downs is Tunbridge Wells (pop. 45,300), attractively situated on the northern slopes of the Weald. Its chalybeate springs made it a much frequented spa in the 18th century. In 1909 the town's name was changed by royal decree to Royal Tunbridge Wells. Illustrious visitors to the spa have included the dandy "Beau" Nash and the writers Daniel Defoe and John Gay.

The Assembly Halls and the Trinity Theatre in Tunbridge Wells provide live comedy, film and music entertainment. The farmers market is held on the second and fourth Saturday morning of each month outside the Town Hall.
