“Always a pleasant family recreational park dating back to the 1800s with gardens and walks with a traditional affordable cafe in the pavillion most days. Safe for children with a modern playground and fenced toddler park. Tennis and basketball courts available to hire. Near to shops, transport and a nasty public toilet facility. Local history is fantastic close to The Pantiles Georgian Terrace for the Dandies and Spa patrons. Reputed to be haunted by the spirit of Beau Nash. Young Queen Victoria alleged to have lived nearby before she was crowned adjacent to the Pantiles.”

“Calverley Grounds is a picturesque park conveniently located just a stone's throw away from Tunbridge Wells Railway station. It boasts immaculate landscaping, lush greenery, and vibrant flowers, making it a beautifully organized space. I've had the pleasure of visiting several times, whether during festivals or special events like the ice skating platform and ferris wheel set up during the Christmas holidays. Each time I return, I'm consistently impressed by the park's cleanliness and tidiness. The kiddies' playground is well-equipped, and there are plenty of food and drink options nearby with reasonable pricing and attentive staff. Calverley Grounds is not only family-friendly but also offers a tranquil environment for those seeking a place to relax and contemplate. It truly is a fantastic destination worth visiting time and time again.”

“This park is a true gem, offering a peaceful and picturesque setting. It is well-maintained and provides a great place to relax and take in the beauty of nature. We had our wedding photos taken here, and the stunning surroundings served as the perfect backdrop. We also loved seeing all the playful squirrels running around the park.”
