There are also two pubs in Groombridge. Parking is free at the common, and there is a bus or the Spa Valley railway for the return journey from Groombridge to Tunbridge Wells if you don\u2019t want to walk back \u2013 see times below. We hope to be joined by Emma Brown who has studied the ecology of the River Grom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The walk is mostly slightly undulating and not too demanding, suitable footwear is recommended. For a slightly shorter and flatter walk you could join us at High Rocks where there is parking (there may be a charge) at about 11:00. Please contact us if you are planning to do this so we can be sure we don\u2019t miss you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Transport options for the return journey:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Bus times<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Groombridge 12:15 2:21 4:21<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tunbr.
