Old Railway Adventure e-bike Tour

What can I expect?

Are you a fan of Steam Trains? Take an exploration on the electric bike around the area of Tunbridge Wells to Eridge, dedicated to The Spa Valley Railway this tour will take you along the route. The Spa Valley Railway is a standard gauge heritage railway in England that now runs from Tunbridge Wells West railway station to High Rocks, Groombridge, and Eridge.  This once busy line used to run direct services to the South Coast at Brighton and Eastbourne and to London Victoria. As the motor industry grew, patrons to this line slowly declined and so in 1950 these lines began to close. The East Grinstead to Lewes line closed in 1958, then the Cuckoo Line in 1965, the Three Bridges to Groombridge in 1967, and finally the Wealden Line south of Uckfield in 1969. The line between Tunbridge Wells and Eridge was itself listed for closure in 1966 but it remained open and can still be enjoyed today.

This tour crosses the Kent and East Sussex border and will take you into Tunbridge Wells neighbouring villages, steeping in history. Our electric bikes will allow you to travel almost effortlessly to various famous landmarks and countryside wildlife the local area has to offer.
