Pembury is a village just to the north east of Tunbridge Wells. It is located on the old route of the A21, but has now been bypassed. The village has a wide range of services including several pubs, shops and eating places. The main hospital for Tunbridge Wells is located on the edge of the village.
Usually named after the legendary overnight ride from London to York in 1737 by Dick Turpin. This fictional account was popularised in a novel, Rookwood (1834), resulting in a surge of Dick Turpin nostalgia and associated pub names.
