Mount Edgcumbe Rocks :: Shared Description
An outcrop of Tunbridge Wells Sandstone on Tunbridge Wells Common. Well-known in Victorian and Edwardian times and a popular vantage point for views across the town. They were known to children of the mid-twentieth century as the Devil's Dyke. A pond at the foot of the rocks was filled in in 1879. By the 1960s, the open grassy space in front of the rocks had become overgrown by scrub which obscured them completely, but the area was cleared in 1994-5.
