Turret of a Churchill tank - Tunbridge wells

 
Turret of a Churchill Tank 

 Date: June 
Location: Tunbridge Wells 
Public or Abandoned: public 
Demolished: No 


we went over to TW for the day as we had planned other explores in and around the area, and I saw online about this turret of a tank,  so we park the car at the RSPB carpark and walked down to the torrent with our 2-year-old, anyone can do this walk as it suitable for all ages, without google maps though you would not know it there as it is hidden off the beaten path, Once you reach the turret there is an information bored telling you what it is, it's a very quick and small explore but same time it very interesting that it has been left there.  It does look like that the turret does get covered in water in the colder months 

So it said that this turret  was left in the woods back after the D landing in 1944, It also said it was left behind by Canadian troops, The turret is now located on RSPB nature reserve
