Kent Axe Throwing runs one-hour coached sessions on a dedicated throwing range in the grounds of Kent Paintball, off Dundale Road on the edge of Tunbridge Wells. After a safety briefing, players start with a tomahawk before moving on to a traditional throwing axe, so no experience is needed.

  • Learn with a tomahawk, then a traditional throwing axe
  • Groups of 2 to 30
  • A competitive social for birthdays and work outings

Good to know

  • Minimum age 12; juniors must bring ID
  • Sturdy closed shoes are required, and dress for the weather
  • Longer sessions can be arranged for large groups

Frant Lakes

Frant Lakes is an eight-lake fishery set in parkland on the Kent and Sussex border near Bells Yew Green, holding carp, big perch and a wide mix of other coarse fish. Every swim is booked online in advance, which keeps numbers down, and a lodge with a cafe, tackle shop and showers sits at the centre of the site.

High Woods

High Woods is a small ancient woodland in Hawkenbury on the south-east edge of Tunbridge Wells, owned by the borough council and running along a ridge above farmland. Oak standards and coppiced sweet chestnut make up most of the wood, and it is one of the town's quieter spots for bluebells in spring.
