Garden of England
If you’re searching for classic yet original, The High Rocks, just a
short drive from TunbridgeWells, is licensed for civil
partnership ceremonies and has four magnificent oak-beamed
function rooms.
The rocks themselves, an ancient national monument,
make a stunning setting for your wedding photos and the
garden even has its own steam train stop, where you can arrive
in a special wedding carriage from the Spa Valley Railway.
