The location of attractions is intended only as a guide. Distances are 'as the crow flies'.
Nearest pub
The Guinea (¾ mile)
A centrally located pub serving real ales, craft beers and cocktails. Serving food daily, ring ahead to book a table. Sunday is popular for a roast and there's regular quiz nights.
Nearest beach
Pevensey Bay Beach (23 miles)
William the Conqueror landed here in 1066 before the historic Battle of Hastings. At the time the harbour was a bustling port but over time the coast has receded and now the local village is over a mile away from the beach. These days the shingle beach is pretty quiet with good views over the channel. Pay and display parking is available nearby and dogs are allowed although restrictions may apply in high season.
Nearest walk
Tunbridge Wells Common (100 yards)
Park for free for an hour and enjoy a saunter around the common. This short circular walk of just under a mile has easy access and flat tarmac paths, ideal for pushchairs and wheelchairs. There are public conveniences available close to the start and cafes close by.
Nearest town
Royal Tunbridge Wells (¾ mile)
Queen Victoria loved this place, so much in fact that her son King Edward V11 bestowed it a royal title in 1909, one of only a handful in the country. These days it's a bustling spa town (without a spa unfortunately) however it does have a great selection of high quality shops and restaurants. The Pantiles is a pedestrian area close to the town centre with exquisit Georgian architecture and well deserves its place on the shortlist of "best high streets in Great Britain".
Also nearby
The Ivy (¼ mile)
Sophisticated fine dining at it's best. From the moment the front door is held open for you, The Ivy experience is enchanting. From the matching crockery with ivy leaf detail to the linen napkins, everything has been thought of. Oh, and the food is pretty spectacular too!
Walking around Penshurst (4 ¾ miles)
This delightful walk starts from the layby opposite Penshurst Palace, is three miles and takes in some lovely countryside. This walk comes to you courtesy of Penshurst on line and take a look at their website for full details.
The Mark Cross Inn (4 ¾ miles)
For ease of access and family friendly facilities, this pub ticks every box. Food is served all day and there's masses of parking and an enclosed garden. You can even order a takeaway, perfect.
Oast Farm Shop and Cafe (12 miles)
If you're in the area a visit here is a must. You can pick your own seasonal fruit, shop for local produce and call in to the cafe for a well deserved break. Food is locally sourced and vegans, gluten and dairy free options are available.

Excellent
Rotherfield (5 ¾ miles)
A rural village with a small collection of shops. St Denys, the local church is Grade 1 listed and worth a look and the area is a designated conservation area due to the quality of the buildings.
