Welcome to Southborough

Southborough is a small town located in the district of Tunbridge Wells in Kent, England. The town is situated on the outskirts of Tunbridge Wells and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. Southborough has a rich history dating back to the 18th century when it was a popular destination for wealthy Londoners seeking a retreat from the city. Today, the town is a thriving community with a range of amenities and attractions for visitors to enjoy.

One of the most notable landmarks in Southborough is the Southborough Viaduct, which was built in the 19th century to carry the railway line between Tunbridge Wells and Tonbridge. The viaduct is an impressive structure that spans over 1,000 feet and is a popular spot for walkers and cyclists. Another popular attraction in the town is the Southborough Common, which is a large open space that is perfect for picnics, sports, and other outdoor activities. The common is also home to a number of events throughout the year, including the Southborough Carnival and the Southborough Fireworks Display.

Southborough is also home to a number of shops, restaurants, and pubs, making it a great destination for a day out or a weekend away. The town has a range of independent retailers, as well as larger chain stores, and there are plenty of places to eat and drink, from traditional pubs to modern cafes and restaurants. Whether you're looking for a relaxing break in the countryside or a fun day out with the family, Southborough has something to offer everyone.
