Retirement Properties Spotlight in Southborough

Southborough lies about two miles north of Tunbridge Wells within the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. For many years the town's forges produced iron and later gunpowder ceasing to work in the 19th century. The town's common is a conservation area and home to Southborough Cricket Club who have played there for over two hundred years.

Tunbridge Wells is a particularly attractive town which developed as a spa in the 17th century after Charles II's mother, Henrietta Maria, came here. It was further popularised a century later when Beau Nash, who had done much to promote Bath, became master of ceremonies. Today it is a bustling town famous for the tree-lined Pantiles and its Regency arcade.
