The Elevated Decimus Burton Walking Tour

Church Road, Tunbridge Wells, Kent, TN1 1JP

  • Multiple dates available
  • In person
  • Pre-booking required

Up until the 1820's, Tunbridge Wells was pretty much focussed around the Old High Street and The Pantiles. That all changed when Decimus Burton designed and executed the Calverley Estate at the top of Mount Pleasant. This is the story.

Decimus Burton was the young architect who, in the 1820s and 1830s, planned and realised a new 56 acre residential and retail estate at the top of Mount Pleasant in Tunbridge Wells to rival the delights being enjoyed down the hill in the famous Pantiles. This Walking Tour will look at the substantial legacy of his masterplan as well as taking in other sights along the way. The walk will last approximately 90 minutes, is all level and will start at the Trinity Theatre in Church Road, Tunbridge Wells and finish a five-minute walk away.
