Today may be the last hot and sunny day before the cooler weather heralds the beginning of autumn, but we're not quite there yet, so there's time to make the most of what Tonbridge has to offer.

The boats at Big Bridge are a great way to see the river areas of Tonbridge and I believe they will be for hire during September.

Enjoy the sunshine!!!!
