The High Rocks lie in acres of breathtaking sandstone rocks. They are interlinked with eleven bridges and provide a scenic walk in a woodland setting. Once a Stone Age camp and now a Scheduled Ancient Monument, these impressive rocks were very popular among visitors to Tunbridge Wells from James II to Victorian and twenty first century tourists.

Opening Times Thursday 12th September: 1100-1900
Friday 13th September: 1000-1900
Saturday 14th September: 1000-1900
Sunday 15th September: 1000-1900

Access Steep steps at gateway to the Rocks.

Please do not park alongside the road; there is a large car park up the slope opposite the High Rocks Inn, High Rocks Lane, Tunbridge Wells, Kent, TN3 9JJ
