Family-friendly

Sherwood is a residential area on the north side of town, between the centre and High Brooms. The streets are mainly Edwardian and interwar houses, many with decent gardens. It's a quieter residential pocket without a centre of its own. St James' Park is nearby. It's one of those areas where people say they live in Tunbridge Wells rather than naming the specific neighbourhood. Practical, mid-range, and close enough to walk into town.
