Sheep and cattle graze contentedly, their presence a quiet testament to the enduring agricultural character of the region. The light here has a particular quality, softening the edges of the hills as dusk approaches, casting long shadows that lend a serene, almost timeless feel to the scene.
The history of Tunbridge is deeply entwined with the flow of the river, which once served as a vital artery for early settlers and the movement of livestock.
