Description
The Pantiles is a beautiful Georgian colonnade and the most famous tourist attraction in Tunbridge Wells. The town owes its existance to the discovery of a chalybeate spring by Dudley Lord North in 1606 at one end of what is now The Pantiles. These rapidly became famous for their supposed healing properties, with visitors including members of the Royal Family. Many of the buildings date from the late 17th century, when the street was redeveloped after a fire in 1687.
