Grosvenor and Hilbert Park
Grosvenor and Hilbert Park are located in Tunbridge Wells, Kent. They are the town’s oldest public park and were designed by the renowned Victorian landscape architect Robert Marnock in 1889. The park still retains its original historic features such as Marnock Lake, the grottoes and the dripping wells. There is an exciting and challenging play area which was updated in 2015 thanks to Heritage and Big Lottery funding.
