Tonbridge

This walkable Kent market town on the River Medway, Tonbridge has a centre thick with listed historic buildings and churches, a real café and restaurant scene, and easy access to the wider region's heritage sites. South-east of London and just north of Royal Tunbridge Wells, it sits close enough to both for day-trippers while offering its own compact, photogenic riverside setting.
