Grosvenor & Hilbert #2
Welcome to Grosvenor and Hilbert Park; Tunbridge Wells’ oldest municipal park opened in 1889 on the site of the old Calverley Water Works. In 1931 a farm was annexed to make the park we see today. This is the 2nd cache in the series designed to take you on a tour of the park which has benefitted from a Heritage Lottery Fund grant. Suggested parking and access is in Auckland Rd or Hilbert Road which are largely free of double yellow lines. See map below.
The listed co-ordinates take you to The Ancient Woodland interpretation board in Roundabout Wood. If you are in a wheelchair or have a buggy you should approach this stage from the west along the boardwalk by the stream and exit the same way.
Read the information on the board.

The interpretation board and the cache are accessible by wheelchair as long as you can manage the slopes. The cache is hanging in a well frequented area. Please use stealth to retrieve and replace.
