Overview

Land time forgot beyond the Eridge Estate between Tunbridge Wells and Crowborough, part following the Old Cuckoo Steam line and the River Grom, skirting rock cliffs and dry ski run at Bowles. The late Queen, Prince Philip and kids often stayed at Eridge Park following the Eridge Hunt around this area in their Land Rover. Lord North set off from here in the C16TH on his horse back to London before falling ill and happening upon the restorative springs at what was to become Tunbridge Wells. Drink at end at the Huntsman Inn with its very attractive beer garden. Bring Picnic lunch.
