4. Serenity in our atmospheric churches
5. Breathe… in…country air…
6. Country parks and walks
A more serene trip would be round the atmospheric churches of Tunbridge Wells borough. Take up On The Wealden Churches Trail leaflet and explore the diverse stories behind each one. There are 12 churches and 1 beautiful abbey to explore. Some are proud owners of some stunning art by famous artists such as Piper and Chagall.
Breathe in the country air – bring your own bikes, or hire them from various cycle hire firms and wend your way round the country, forest and lakeside tracks revitalising in a local café or bistro afterwards.
Alternatively, come face to face with the beautiful nature walks and stunning views around the Weald’s own Swallows and Amazons adventure backdrop.
7. Hole Park Autumn Sundays includes 31st October – see the incredible autumn burnt umbers and ochres in this stunning estate where dogs are welcomed (if well-behaved!) and no booking is necessary. The Coach House tea room will be open for delicious light lunches and afternoon teas too.
