Royal Tunbridge Wells is a town situated in Kent, approximately 30 miles southeast of Central London. It is nestled near the border with East Sussex, positioned on the northern edge of the High Weald. The town's character is deeply rooted in its history as a spa destination during the Restoration and the mid-1700s, when it became a fashionable resort under the influence of Beau Nash. Visitors were attracted by the Pantiles and its chalybeate spring, seeking the benefits of taking the waters. While its fame as a spa town declined with the rise of sea bathing, tourism continues to be a significant part of the local economy. In 1909, the town was honoured with the prefix "Royal" by King Edward VII, marking it as one of only three towns in England with this distinction. Today, Tunbridge Wells offers a blend of historical charm and modern living, set against a backdrop of unique sandstone geology exemplified by the nearby High Rocks formation. Its cultural heritage and picturesque setting make it an interesting place to consider for those looking to live in an area rich in history and natural beauty.
