Sandwiched between the Kent Downs AONB and the High Weald AONB, the market town of Tonbridge has a lot to offer lovers of the outdoors. I’d recommend a visit to its 11th-century motte-and-bailey castle, whilst an amble along the banks of the Medway is beautiful, particularly in spring. Tonbridge can be reached in around 45 minutes from London Charring Cross.

Great view of the castle from the bridge over the River Medway. A motte-and-bailey castle was built on this site after the Norman conquest as further defence. The castle as it looks to today was built in the 13th Century, and the mansion was added in the 18th Century. The council now use the mansion for offices, but the castle is worth a visit.

Open to the public, with obviously tons of history and well worth a visit, plus Tonbridge is a great town to explore.
