EATING OUT

There are a good many restaurants, pubs and cafes in Tunbridge Wells with some particularly exellent old pubs in the nearby countryside. Menus range from the uniquely English, to specialists in fish, a full range of ethnic styles, to top class continental.

If you are arriving on a Friday or Saturday it is advisable to book ahead as it is very difficult to get a table at short notice in many of the restaurants.

We keep copies of most of the menus and would be happy to make advance table reservations.

PLACES TO VISIT

Tunbridge Wells is an excellent centre from which to tour the country. Notable houses of historic interest include Penhurst Place, Knole, Hever Castle, Leeds Castle, Ightham Mote, Bodiam Castle, Winston Churchill's home Chartwell and Rudyard Kipling's home, Batemans.

Garden lovers can visit Sissinghurst Castle, Scotney Castle, Great Dixter and Pashley Manor. Canterbury makes a great day out on its own.

The ancient towns of Rye and Battle are also within easy reach and Windsor Castle is about an hour and a half's drive.

Tunbridge Wells itself is a town of considerable interest and has retained many of its pleasant open spaces close to the heart of the town while at the same time providing excellent shopping facilities, both in the older parts of the town, as well as the modern Royal Victoria Place shopping mall.
