Grosvenor & Hilbert #3
Welcome to Tunbridge Wells’ oldest municipal park opened in 1889 on the site of the old Calverley Water Works. In 1931 a farm was annexed to make the park you see today. This cache is the third in a series to take you on a tour of the park which has benefitted from a Heritage Lottery Fund grant. Suggested parking and access is Auckland Rd or Hilbert Road which are largely free of double yellow lines. See map below
The listed coordinates take you to the Bedgebury Pinetum interpretation board. To find the cache you need to collect some information here and from two more interpretation boards. The interpretation boards and the cache are accessible by wheelchair on paths or boardwalks as long as you can manage the slopes.
