Friezland Wood is a picturesque woodland located in the county of Sussex, England. Covering an area of approximately 100 acres, it is a popular destination for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. The wood is situated in the scenic South Downs National Park, which adds to its charm and natural beauty.

The woodland is predominantly composed of native broadleaf trees, such as oak, ash, and beech, creating a diverse and vibrant ecosystem. These trees provide a habitat for a wide range of flora and fauna, including various bird species, butterflies, and small mammals. The wood is especially renowned for its bluebell displays during springtime, attracting visitors from far and wide to witness the breathtaking carpets of blue flowers that cover the forest floor.

Visitors to Friezland Wood can enjoy a network of well-maintained walking trails that meander through the trees, allowing for peaceful and tranquil strolls in nature. The wood also offers opportunities for birdwatching, photography, and picnicking. There are designated areas where visitors can sit and enjoy the serenity of the surroundings, as well as learn about the wood's history and conservation efforts through informative signage.

Managed by the local forestry commission, Friezland Wood is carefully preserved to maintain its ecological balance and protect its natural heritage. The wood is open to the public throughout the year, with no entry fees, making it an accessible and enjoyable destination for individuals and families seeking a connection with nature.

The Pantiles The Pantiles is the most famous street in Tunbridge Wells. It was originally a grove of trees until the Chalybeate spring was discovered in 1606. It rapidly developed into the hub of the new spa town. The street has over 40 listed buildings on it. The Pantiles and Tunbridge Wells itself, owe their beginnings to the discovery of the Chalybeate Spring in the early 17th century and the popularity of the spa water amongst the gentry and royalty of Georgian England. As Tunbridge Wells grew in popularity as a spa resort, so did the area surrounding the Spring - eventually leading to the building of the colonnaded walkway in the 18th century, later known as The Pantiles. In its heyday in Georgian times, the 'Walks' as they were then known, were the place to see and be seen for visitors to Tunbridge Wells. A strict protocol was adhered to - gentry on the 'Upper Walks', the colonnade, and everyone else on the 'Lower Walks'. Richard Beau Nash, a dandy of the day made it his business to ensure that this protocol was adhered to by acting as a kind of Master of Ceremonies during 'the season' in Tunbridge Wells and in the town's rival, Bath. Things are much more relaxed nowadays and the Pantiles is now a very attractive and stylish part of Royal Tunbridge Wells. Much of the colonnade has been renewed since its beginnings in the 17th century but most of the surrounding buildings date from the 18th and 19th centuries. The tiled surface is Grade II listed. <span class="nowrap"><a title="https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1084405" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" href="https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1084405">Link</a><img style="margin-left:2px;" alt="External link" title="External link - shift click to open in new window" src="https://s1.geograph.org.uk/img/external.png" width="10" height="10"/></span>
