Groombridge Place Manor House

Highlight • Historical Site

Groombridge is a village of about 1600 inhabitants on the border between Kent and East Sussex in England. The nearest major city is Royal Tunbridge Wells, about 4.5 miles away.

The main part of the village ("New Groombridge") is located in Parish Withyham in the Wealden district in East Sussex. In Neu Groombridge is a primary school with the Church of St. Thomas, part of the Chichester Diocese of the Church of England. There is a general store, a bakery, a post office, a hairdressing salon, a car dealership and a public house.

The older part of the village ("Old Groombridge") is located in Parish Speldhurst in the Borough of Tunbridge Wells in Kent and consists mainly of the Groombridge Place estate. St. John's Church, part of the Rochester diocese, is in Alt Groombridge. There is also an inn, but no shops.

The border between the two counties East Sussex and Kent and thus between old and new Groombridge forms the River Grom, which flows further west from the right into the River Medway.

Worth Forest and Worth Way Country Park

Highlight • Viewpoint

Worth Forest is a pretty area of woodland in Sussex. The Worth Way, a former railway line that was closed in the 1960s, leads through the trees. There's loads of wildlife – lookout for the many different species of butterflies, as well as bats, adders, grass snakes and common lizards. You can snack on wild strawberries on the way too.
