Preston Manor, Brighton

Preston Manor is the former manor house of the ancient Sussex village of Preston, now part of the coastal city of Brighton and Hove, England. The present building dates mostly from 1738, when Lord of the manor Thomas Western rebuilt the original 13th-century structure, and 1905 when Charles Stanley Peach's renovation and enlargement gave the house its current appearance. The manor house passed through several owners, including the Stanfords—reputedly the richest family in Sussex— after several centuries of ownership by the Diocese of Chichester and a period in which it was Crown property.

Tunbridge Wells

United Kingdom

I lived here back in 2011. My favorite pastime was a Saturday of walking. Take a walk along the Pantiles and then out to the rocks near High Brooms. See the steam train pass you by, the bluebells ringing the forest and continue on to Groombridge Place. Finish up your walk with a beer in the Ragged Trousers.

Tunbridge Wells

Royal Tunbridge Wells is a town in West Kent on the border with East Sussex, in the South East of England.

The Pantiles and its chalybeate spring have been the landmarks most readily associated with Royal Tunbridge Wells ever since the founding of the town, though the 5-metre-high (16 ft) steel Millennium Clock at the Fiveways area in the centre of town, designed by local sculptor Jon Mills for the Millennium celebrations, stakes a claim to be a modern landmark.

Tunbridge Wells is on the Kentish border with East Sussex, about 31 miles (50 km) south of London; the original centre of the settlement lies directly on the Kent/East Sussex border, as recalled by the county boundary flagstone that still lies outside the church of King Charles the Martyr.
