Wellbeing Walks – Tunbridge Wells

The Ramblers Wellbeing Walks provide sociable walking groups throughout the borough of Tunbridge Wells.

There are weekly walks in several of the parks of Royal Tunbridge Wells, which feature the stunning views of cultivated landscapes and architecture.While the walks in the rural areas of Cranbrook and Benenden explore areas of historically managed farmland and woodland of the Kent Weald Area Of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Walkers enjoy the benefits of friendly leaders, good company, fresh air and stunning scenery. Most groups also take the opportunity to stop for refreshments after the walk.
