Attractions in East Sussex
Towns and villages
- Wadhurst – visit our historic church and have a drink in one of the
local inns in front of a burning log fire.
- Lamberhurst – an old hopping village, and home to Bayham Abbey, a visit to the ruins of the old abbey on a sunny day is a must!
- Royal Tunbridge Wells – visit the spring where the Royals used to visit to take the water of the Chalybeate Spring in the 17th and 18th centuries. A coffee on town's famous colonnaded street, The Pantiles, followed by a walk through the town and a look at the abundant Regency architecture, is a local favourite pastime. There are plenty of high street and local shops to browse in also, should you fancy a spending spree!
