Aqua Tunbridge
Meditative proving:
Back in 1606, the largest village close to the spring was the historic
town of Tunbridge, so the area was named Tunbridge Wells. Over the years, the spelling
of Tunbridge changed to Tonbridge. So now if you look at a map of Kent, you'll
find Tonbridge right up the road from Tunbridge Wells. The similar spellings
and pronunciations have been a source of confusion to travellers for centuries.
The "Royal" prefix helps a bit. In 1909, King Edward VII bestowed the
right to add "Royal" to the town's name in recognition of three
centuries of visits by British royalty. Royal Tunbridge Wells is the name you
find on maps; most locals call the town Tunbridge Wells or the Wells."

Description of the substance:
In the Heart of Kent, Royal Tunbridge Wells has been a fashionable Spa
town since the 17th century when it became popular among royalty and the
aristocracy. From its humble beginnings with the discovery of a mineral spring
around 1606, Royal Tunbridge Wells developed into a fashionable Spa resort,
famous for its charming colonnaded walks known as the Pantiles.
This cheerful former spar town grew up amid the Wealden forests after
Lord North discovered it's chalybeate spring in 1606.Building began in 1638
when a grassy promenade, called the Walk, was laid out beside the spring and
visitor 'took the waters' in the morning and socialised afterwards. Later, the
Walk was paved with square earthenware tiles, giving rise to it's present name,
The Pantiles. Tunbridge Wells grew haphazardly and
informally, and is a very attractive town, it's charm arising from the 18th and
19th century elegance including Decimus Burton's Calverley Park and Calverley Park
Terrace, and the buildings on Mount Sion and Mount Ephrahim. The common is a superb open space, while the most
famous area, The Pantiles, is in effect an 18th
century shopping precinct: a raised paved walkway shaded by lime trees, and
fronted by shops behind a colonnade, which gives uniformity to otherwise varied
architecture. The Chalybeate SpringTucked inside the
entrance of the Pantiles, the famous colonnaded
shopping area in Royal Tunbridge Wells, is the mineral spring to which the town
owes its very existence - the Chalybeate Spring.The
spring was discovered in the early 17th century by a lifelong hypochondriac,
Dudley Lord North. He had the water analysed and then claimed it had
miraculously cured him from a 'lingering consumptive disorder'. Test its
purported medicinal qualities by taking the water from a traditional dipper.
Open from Good Friday 29 March - Sunday 29th September 2002 10 – 17 h. every
day. Once you have taken the waters and feel invigorated, why not explore the
rest of historic Royal Tunbridge Wells or set out into the beautiful High Weald
countryside and visit one of the many gardens, castles, and stately homes in
the surrounding area? With a variety of places to stay from luxurious town
hotels to cosy B&B's in stunning countryside settings Royal Tunbridge Wells
makes an ideal place for a short break.
The first recorded royal visitor to 'take to the waters' was Queen
Henrietta Maria in 1629. Charles II and Queen Catherine visited on a number of
occasions in the 1660s and the future James II visited in 1670.
Between 1826 and 1835 Princess Victoria and her mother the Duchess of
Kent spent several holidays on the Calverley Estate.
To celebrate the Princess's several visits, the townsfolk planted a grove on
the Common, still to be seen today.
There was great excitement in 1845 when the first railway train steamed
into Tunbridge Wells, carrying civic dignitaries and a brass band. The town became
Royal Tunbridge Wells in 1909. Edward
VII granted the title in recognition of the town's long association with
royalty.
Royal Tunbridge Wells today is a town that has successfully blended old
and new. Present day visitors can still drink the water from the Chalybeate
Spring, enjoy a days shopping at the Royal Victoria Place shopping centre and
experience an architectural heritage that illustrates every period of the
town's colourful history.
