Tonbridge, Kent

Tonbridge:

We recommend visiting Tonbridge after having a lovely half-day stay in Penshurst Place. My main couple of attractions in this sympathic town are: the Cassle and a short walk along the Medway banks. It is a 15 minutes walk along Tonbridge High Street, from Tonbridge station,  until you arrive to the Castle and the river. On your way - you'll surely find a good restaurant among the tens located along or around this road.

The Castle worth a visit. Once you are in the extensive park opposite the Castle - climb the stairs up the hill opposite the Castle - to see a good view of the castle, Medway river and the surrounding fields. The Castle is mostly a ruin with only the gatehouse intact.

Tonbridge Castle and Park:

Walk along the Medway river (to the east of Tonbridge Castle). I liked the Cannon Wharf area with its new-built apartments:

The Slug and Lettuce chain Restaurant:

Opposite the Tonbridge Castle park. Average food. Pleasant place and generous portions. Half-price on Mondays (might be full up then).
