Tunbridge Wells, Administrative borough in Kent, England

The borough of Tunbridge Wells stretches across 128 square miles of Kent countryside, encompassing multiple towns and villages southeast of London.

The discovery of mineral springs in 1606 transformed this region into a major resort destination frequented by English nobility throughout the 17th century.

The Tunbridge Wells Museum exhibits the world's largest collection of Tunbridge ware, featuring intricate wooden crafts made by local artisans.

The area maintains two operational railway stations connecting residents to London, with regular services running throughout the day from both terminals.

Local craftsmen continue the tradition of producing Tunbridge ware, creating detailed wooden tables, boxes, and toys using specific hardwood combinations.
