I am now 86 years old, I was born and raised in the nearby village of Rusthall and believe it or not these rocks were our playground, no health and safety in those days. The old remains of the hut was actually used as a tea room in the summer months when the Rocks were opened to the public and an entrance fee charged. We knew how to get in for nothing. I note that you did not find “ the bell rock” this is a rock that when hit with a heavy stick in a certain place would ring like a bell. HAPPY DAYS!
My dad, 3 brothers and I used to play at High Rocks in the 70's. It was closed for years, but we used to get in at the top and get chased out some times. The little house was still there, but very run down. It was much more overgrown and the rocks were treacherous and slippy. There was no station at High Rocks, but the railway went to Groombridge and was a proper commuter line. Such a big part of my childhood along with Happy Valley, Dingly Dell and Toad Rock.
The high rocks near Tunbridge Wells is one of my favourite places, I like the way the roots of the trees wrap around the large boulders and the way the trunks of these trees twist with their contorted branches, it gives the place an atmosphere of other worldliness, like a place of witches and pagan rituals.
The sky goes grey, the temperature hovers between 2 and 7 degrees C, and it snows maybe a week a year. It's not too harsh but it goes on and on for what seems like an eternity.
That was truly magical! Been to Tunny lots of times but have never heard of the High Rocks park! Hubby and his two mates do “walks” and are always looking for new destinations and “adventures” - going to show him this! Best wishes and looking forward to your next trip out xxx😊
Hello boys ,that was exiting going on a steam train for a little ride ,we really enjoyed it,tunbridge wells looks nice,and the rocks are so amazing with all the bridges ,thanks for showing ,greetings from hamburg!
I am looking to find a lovely place to go to celebrate my Birthday on this Sunday 28th January with my 2 children and hubby, and i found it,i am going to try what you guys did. Thank you for the video 🙏
Hi, what a lovely place Tunbridge Wells is ❤ and yes I can see the face , also for the love of all things holy Joshua 😂 please get back from the edge!!!😱😱. I'm liking your boots/shoes Jason love the colours❤
Not a bad price for the cuppa ☕️ , and you get a biscuit. Win , win , chicken 🐓 dinner. Do they offer free refills on the coffee ☕️? Even if they don’t, still a bargain.
I live in Honbury Tunbridge Wells. It’s really cool there as well as Calvary park the shopping centre but be careful. There’s a lot of chavs and they’ll nick your camera if they see it
i wouldn't bother with smith and western. went there one time after a major hankering for a steak. cook better ones myself to be honest. was not impressed at all.

I bet it was great fun for you back in those days.

I’m amazed how green England is in the winter. Your winters don’t seem bad at all.

No refills unfortunately 😭
Tunbridge Wells is great if you like charity shops and coffee shops because we've got millions😂
Also, the Smith and Weston isn’t a hotel. It’s a cowboy kitchen. I know that because I work there as a part-time cleaner.
I live in Honbury Tunbridge Wells. It’s really cool there as well as Calvary park the shopping centre but be careful. There’s a lot of chavs and they’ll nick your camera if they see it
Also, the fountain was broken then, and they spent over £2 million to refurbish it
Maybe one day you'll come to Australia for your holidays.
Would love to visit Australia ☀️
One Year come to Sydney's Mardi Gras. Then there's a lot of things to do and see in Sydney.
i wouldn't bother with smith and western. went there one time after a major hankering for a steak. cook better ones myself to be honest. was not impressed at all.
Happy Memories.
and the rhdr to dungeness too
love the video guys, Tunbridge wells is my home town and I haven't been back to the uk in 2 years, so its nice to see content like this.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it ☺️
I am thinking of moving there but it's way too expensive to rent. Is Tonbridge cheaper? Thinking of going there instead as I heard it was cheaper.
One of my favourite places in kent.
The train looked so cute but SOOO cold
I can imagine it’s better in summer 😂
Well done Jason, I will clap 👏 👏👏👏👏👏 you for your effort 👍🏼😊xx
Thanks 😜
