Situated in the Pantiles, the Chalybeate Spring is
at the heart of historic Royal Tunbridge Wells.
In 2006 the town celebrates the 400th anniversary
of the discovery of the Spring by Dudley, Lord North in 1606. It was the
discovery of the Spring which marked the beginning of Royal Tunbridge Wells and
its reputation in Georgian high society as a place to see and be seen. Queen
Anne, Queen Henrietta Maria, Samuel Pepys and Daniel Defoe were amongst the
many people who have come over the centuries to taste the purportedly
health-giving iron-rich spring water. Today
the water still flows and can be sampled in the summer months served in the
traditional manner by a costumed 'Dipper'.
