Dunorlan Park

Dunorlan Park is one of the prettiest places to go on a sunny day in Tunbridge Wells, and what's more, it's an easy walk from the centre of town and there's a cafe where you can get light snacks and refreshments, a great big lake with boats, and a visitor centre.

It took us 40 minutes to get to the seat on the north side of the lake where we sat down from The Lancers, and that was at an easy stroll. Another 20 minutes back max.

The geese are fat, rounded and healthy and appreciate a bit of bread. There's a boating lake where you can take out pedalos, canoes or traditional rowing boats. It's a very pretty place with a rather posh fountain and a white doric temple.

Nice park areas like this often charge their visitors quite considerably for an afternoon but this one is completely free of charge .. at the moment. Long may that continue!
