The Area

Tonbridge is steeped in history, with a breathtaking 11th century Norman castle demarcating the northern end of the High Street and nearby National Trust properties serving as inspiration for weekend family adventures.

Within easy reach of London, the town is undergoing steady regeneration. A new cinema, and plans for upmarket shops and high street stores, form part of redevelopment plans for Tonbridge.

The town boasts an indoor trampoline park, an indoor climbing experience, a leisure centre, and a swimming pool with heated lido.

Culture vultures can find entertainment at the town’s two theatres, The Oast and The Hoppers.

Enjoy the Garden of England

There are large green areas close to the development, including Tonbridge Park, while the land immediately south of the town remains essentially all woodland. A multitude of local sports clubs and societies cater to all ages, tastes and abilities, with golf, athletics, cricket, swimming and canoeing all available.

Local attractions include the Haysden Country Park nature reserve and charming Spa Valley steam railway. Driving experiences and events are available at Brands Hatch, just 30 minutes away.
