Sherwood is a residential ward on the northern edge of Tunbridge Wells in Kent, England. It is largely made up of family homes, small local shopping parades and pockets of green space, giving it a suburban character while remaining close to the town centre.
The community has a mixed social make-up with schools, local clubs and leisure facilities anchoring everyday life; its growth reflects the wider expansion of Tunbridge Wells through the late 19th and 20th centuries. Good road and rail links make commuting into central London straightforward, so many residents balance village-scale living with easy access to the capital.
