Rejuvenating day trip to Royal Tunbridge Wells

With UK bank holidays sparsely spread throughout the working year, it’s a challenge to find a day trip destination that offers both stimulation and relaxation. Royal Tunbridge Wells offers the chance to scale rocks, hike through stunning scenery and enjoy a wallow in the spa all in the space of one day.  Located a mere 45 minute train ride from London, it’s the perfect day trip escape from corporate life.
