The Royal Wells Hotel owes it's regal title to Queen Victoria, who made frequent visits as a young princess in the early nineteenth century. She later granted the use of her Coat of Arms, which are proudly displayed at the top of the building. Today the hotel still retains much of its Victorian elegance. With a commanding position overlooking the Tunbridge Wells Common and within walking distance of the town centre, The Royal Wells Inn is a traditional, family-run hotel. Eating in the superb Conservatory Restaurant, with its intimate lounge bar, is sure to be one of the highlights of your stay here. Emphasis is on fresh produce, expertly prepared and served with friendly efficiency. An extensive wine cellar compliments the high standard of cuisine and this, together with the delightful surroundings, makes The Conservatory a popular eating place for guests and non-residents alike.

Tunbridge Wells- A Nice Town to visit
The official name is Royal Tunbridge Wells and it is in the West part of the county of Kent. You will find Tunbridge Wells along the northern part of the High Weald and it borders on to Surrey,West Sussex and East Sussex .Tunbridge Wells is graced with woodlands and parkland. The larger area of woodland is the Tunbridge Wells and Rusthall Common that is 250 acres in size and it has wood and heathland and is situated near the town centre. This area is very popular with people and in the summer there are many who go there to picnic. Near by is the cricket ground which you will find near Wellington Rocks
Calvery Grounds which is a historic park where there you find a bandstand and ornamental gardens. This park was part of the Mount Pleasant Estate where there was a house there which in 1837 was then converted into a hotel- in 1920 the borough council bought it for the town. The bandstand dates back to 1924.
Dunorlan Park which is the largest green area which is maintained.This was once a private garden and it was part of Henry Reed's estate then in 1941 it was passed on to the town for all to have pleasure from. The garden was created by Robert Marnock who was a very well known Victorian gardener but it was rather over grown by the time it was handed to the town for the residents of Tunbridge Wells to have pleasure using the park for leisure pursuits.
The oldest public park is the Grosvener recreation ground and it is ajoined by the Hilbert recreation ground and parts of this as been designated as a local nature reserve by Kent High Weald Project.
In the Georgian period the town was a tourist resort and spa because the chalybeate spring down at the Pantiles and this became very well known.It encouraged visitors to go to Tunbridge Wells and to try out the waters. After a while it got less attractive as there started to be other attractions such as trips to the sea and bathing. Even so the town still remained popular and has 3% income from the tourist industry. In 1889 Tunbridge Wells was awarded the stus of a Borough and so it started the 20th century very wealthy. The Opera House was opened in the year 1902 and it was given the 'Royal' to be put in front of Tunbridge Wells in 1909.This was given because of the good location in the south eastern part of England during World War 1. It was headquarters for the army and the soldiers used the hospitals there as well when they had been sent back. Amazingly there were 3,800 buildings that actually were damaged but only 15 people died which was remarkable.
The population of Tunbridge Wells is about 56,500 and it was reported in the 2005/6 statistics that crime was fewer there than the National Average in particular crimes of violence were even lower than the rest of Great Britain.
I have to say when I visit Tunbridge Wells now I really like going down to the Pantiles as there are many different small shops and also open air cafes,restaurants and bars that suit all tastes. Then of course at the northern part of the Pantiles there is the Spring which still flows and the reputedly health-given water now is served during the summer months by a traditional 'Dipper'. There are also many music bands that play there over the summer period entertain the visitors who go there. . It also boast a fine shopping centre which is called The Royal Victoria Place and there was 50,000 people employed there in the year 2002. The shopping centre is in the centre of Tunbridge Wells and it was opened officially by Diana, Princess of Wales in the year of 1992.
Tunbridge Wells does enjoy low employment and in August 2008 the rate of unemployment was around 1.0% compared to the UK national rate of about 5.4%.
It has it s own football team Tunbridge Wells F.C. and takes part in the Kent League Premier Division at the Culverden Stadium and the history of the club goes back to 1886.
At the Nevill Ground cricket is played and it plays host to international cricket .
It is also very easy to get to by car and the bus services provides a service which allows people from rural areas to use to get into Tunbridge Wells if thay do not drive. Also you can get there by train.
In 2006 Tunbridge Wells was said to be the third best place to live in all of the United Kingdom as it has good schools,low crime,low unemployment, very good environment and a very good lifestyle one could have if they live in Tunbridge Wells
Advantages: Pleasant surroundings, the best part of the country Disadvantages: Hustle and bustle, traffic
...the picturesque town of Royal Tunbridge Wells (hereafter referred to as RTW) 33 years ago. I was born in a village on the north-western edge called Rusthall. When I was two I moved (well, my parents moved and I went with them) to a village on the eastern edge called High Brooms, where my father had grown up. I spent the next 24 years, more or less, living in that village.
So where should I start... Well, why not at the beginning?
THE BEGINNING
... ...Nash, came to work at Tunbridge Wells. In the early 19th century Princess Victoria came to stay at what is now the Calverley Hotel, years before she became Queen. The town was granted a Royal Charter in the early 20th Century.

Advantages: lively picturesque town with wide range of activities Disadvantages: expensive
...18 year old resident of Tunbridge Wells since 1996, I have a wide knowledge of the attractions and facilities available to young people in the town.
The Chalybeate spring from which the town was born was discovered in 1606, thus, in comparison to the surrounding towns, Tunbridge Wells is quite a newly developed community. The older part of the town is the most historically interesting and beautiful, with the pantiles, an area of mostly Tudor townhouses ... ...town was christened 'Royal Tunbridge Wells' following a visit from the Queen Henrietta Maria, mother of Charles 1. In 1678 the Chapel of King Charles the Martyr was built. But Tunbridge Wells did not start to develop as a town until about 1680. From then on houses were built at Mount Ephraim. In 1682 land near the common was sold. After 1682 houses were built in the area of Mount Sion. In 1687 the shops were burned in a fire but the owner rebuilt ...
