Tunbridge Wells - an Olympic Choice

Tunbridge Wells provides an attractive, accessible and good value base for visitors coming to the London 2012 Olympic Games.  One hours' train journey from many of the central London venues, Tunbridge Wells is very convenient for an extended break during the London 2012 Olympic Games and a perfect base from which to travel.

With access to the national motorway network to visit other venues such as Brands Hatch (Paralympian Cycling), Dorney Lake (Rowing) and Weymouth (Sailing), Tunbridge Wells is conveniently placed for your stay.  The area is also central to the UK international gateways of Gatwick Airport (38 miles), Eurotunnel at Folkestone (approx 44 miles), both Dover and Folkestone Ferry Ports (approx 55 and 47 miles respectively) and of course, the Eurostar at Ashford or Ebsfleet (both 30 miles away).

The area with its beautiful countryside, historic towns, picturesque villages, beautiful gardens and stately homes is an ideal base, either for an extended visit during the London 2012 Olympic Games or for a relaxing alternative vacation.  The opportunity to extend the experience in tranquil countryside, full of local history, an international range of cuisine, locally produced food, a choice of accommodation options and quality shopping is one not to be missed.
