Royal Tunbridge Wells
Towns
The only spa town in South East England and one of only three 'Royal' towns in the country, the history of Royal Tunbridge Wells stretches back over 400 years when the Chalybeate Spring was first discovered. Since then visitors have been coming to this elegant and historic town to sample the 'waters' still served in the traditional manner by the 'Dipper', and to experience the town's fine architecture, restaurants, accommodation and excellent shopping. The town has been enjoyed by royalty and famous characters from history including Queen Anne, Queen Victoria and Samuel Pepys to name but a few. The Pantiles, the town's famous colonnaded walkway, is the oldest part of the town and home to the Spring and an unrivalled selection of boutiques, antique shops and eateries. Carry on into the Old High Street and discover a high class range of clothes and interior design shops before reaching the modern shopping centre at Royal Victoria Place, where all the major brand names and more are to be found.
