Princess Anne's Oak

Princess Anne's Oak is overlooking London Road, between Mount Edgcumbe Road and the Vale Road corner. The tree is said to have been planted around 1700 to commemorate the several visits of the Princess (later Queen Anne) to Tunbridge Wells between 1684 and 1698. The Victorian railings around the tree were restored in 1995, and a plaque affixed.

Tunbridge Wells Common

Tunbridge Wells Common is a 104 hectare open space close to the centre of town. Comprising mixed oak woodland and open areas. Originally a common where animals grazed, but trees have grown as grazing declined. Underlain by Tunbridge Wells Sandstone (Lower Cretaceous), which outcrops in several places across the common. Owned by the Borough Council but looked after by the Tunbridge Wells Common Conservators LinkExternal link .
