Retirement Properties Spotlight in Rusthall

Rusthall is a small village just off the A264 to the west of Tunbridge Wells with local shops and close to the golf course at Lower Green.

Tunbridge Wells is a particularly attractive town which developed as a spa in the 17th century after Charles II's mother, Henrietta Maria, came here. It was further popularised a century later when Beau Nash, who had done much to promote Bath, became master of ceremonies. Today it is a bustling town famous for the tree-lined Pantiles and its Regency arcade.

There are museums, art galleries, theatres and many fine parks including Dunloran which was laid out by the renowned Victorian gardener, Robert Marrock, in the grounds of a mansion. Recently the park has undergone a major restoration with 15000 plants and more than 250 trees being planted. Decimus Burton laid out Calverley Park and also built Holy Trinity Church in 1829.
