About

Sherwood ward sits in the northern part of Royal Tunbridge Wells, primarily a residential area characterised by a mix of housing from different eras. The layout includes numerous quiet, tree-lined streets and cul-de-sacs, with a significant portion of the housing consisting of detached and semi-detached family homes. The area is bordered by major routes like the A264 and A26, providing connectivity while the interior streets remain largely insulated from through traffic.

The local centre along Pembury Road offers essential shops, a pharmacy, and several eateries, serving as a practical hub for residents. A notable community feature is the expansive Sherwood open space, which includes recreational grounds, a children's playground, and the Sherwood Lake area with its small body of water and walking paths. This green corridor provides a distinct natural focus within the ward's suburban setting.
