The 78 acres of landscaped gardens which
make up Dunorlan Park were created by Robert
Marnock, a renowned Victorian gardener, to
complement Yorkshire-born Henry Reed’s
grand mansion.
From the terrace, wander a little way down the
slope and you’ll reach the Chalybeate Spring.
Tunbridge Wells has been famous for its springs
since the discovery of the spring in the Pantiles
in 1606.
Ambling down the hill you will pass the park’s
café, a chance to admire views across the lake
with a warming cup of tea and a slice of cake.
The ornamental boating lake lies at the bottom
of the slope. Kingfishers and herons can be
spotted around the lake, while a variety of
rushes grow in the marshes.
