Описание: Tunbridge Wells lies at the heart of an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, unspoilt ancient countryside famously known as the Garden of England. Set amongst a rich heritage of orchards, hop farms (and hop picking), vineyards, market towns, iron production and cloth weaving, the wider region of Tunbridge Wells possesses a fascinating depth of heritage and history. There is plenty of opportunity to soak up the beautiful English rural scenery which inspired greats such as Thackeray, EM Forster, Chagall and Tattershall Dodd I.
