Station to Station, Sainsbury's to Sainsbury's
4-5 Great Hall Arcade, Mount Pleasant Road, Tunbridge Wells, Kent, TN1 1QQ
The railway station came to central Tunbridge Wells in 1846. Then another one came along in 1866 just down the road and they were joined together by a tunnel in 1876. This walk will look at the history of both stations and the route between them, calling at the Old High Street, The Grove, the historic Mt Sion village area, The Pantiles and finally the original Tunbridge Wells West Station by the big Sainsbury's in Linden Park Road where the walk will terminate. The start point is outside the Sainsbury’s Local on Mt Pleasant and will last approximately 90 minutes. The walk is step-free but there is one hill to climb at the beginning.
