About Wellington Rocks

Sandstone rocks on Tunbridge Wells Common, close to the town centre and reachable on foot. Once described as High Rocks or Castle Rock, they take their present name from the nearby hotel. Small pebbles that were once cut and polished as Tunbridge Wells Diamonds can still be seen in the stone. Visiting is free, and the Visit Tunbridge Wells guide suggests bringing the dog.

Details checked against the venue on 29 October 2026. Opening times change, so confirm before you travel.
