Settlement dates back to the stone age and attractions include the Maidstone River Park, which features the Archbishop&#8217;s Palace and gardens; Mote Park, a large lake with surrounding grassland and woodland near the town centre; and Maidstone Museum, a free museum that is fantastic for children with over 600,000 artefacts including a dinosaur exhibit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maidstone is very close the M20 motorway junctions 5 to 7, and trains run direct to London Victoria in just over an hour, or you can be in Paris in just 2h 30mins via Ashford International!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Royal Tunbridge Wells is a spa town with a population of over 55,000. It is most famous for <a href=\"https:\/\/thepantiles.com\/\">The Pantiles<\/a>, a Georgian colonnade with many independent shops, bars and restaurants. It is not to be confused with nearby Tonbridge, another historic market town where some of our training surgeries are located. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tunbridge Wells is on the A21, which joins the M25 at junction 5. Trains go to London Charing Cross in under an hour.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-nhsblocks-panel1 nhsuk-panel is-style-panel-with-label\"><h3>The surrounding area<\/h3><div class=\"paneltext\">\n<p>Both towns are surrounded by beautiful countryside, situated among the North Downs and the High Weald Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty. There are a huge number of outdoor attractions but you are still within 40miles of London, making this an excellent area to work, live and raise a family<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":0,"parent":1334,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"class_list":["post-1343","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>About the area - Maidstone &amp;
