High Rocks nr. Royal Tunbridge Wells
From Wikipedia:
The location was formed when the retreating ice sheet at the end of the last ice age uncovered hardened silt deposited when the area was part of the Wealden Lake. There are traces of Middle Stone Age and Iron Age residents, including a 1st-century A.D. fort guarding against the Roman invasion.
After King James II visited Tunbridge Wells and made the woodland a resort in the 17th century, The Rocks became a tourist attraction with a maze, a bowling green, gambling rooms and cold baths. The Aerial Walk, a series of bridges linking the tops of the crags was built in the 19th century.
A railway line was established in 1907 and ran until 1952. Reopened 1996, as The Spa Valley Railway, a heritage railway now connects the High Rocks pub beyond the High Rocks turnstiles to Tunbridge Wells and Groombridge.
