Rusthall Common is a 2.7-hectare (6.7-acre) geological Site of Special Scientific Interest in Rusthall, a suburb of Tunbridge Wells in Kent.[1][2] It is a Geological Conservation Review site.[3] It is owned by the Manor of Rusthall and managed by Tunbridge Wells Commons Conservators.[4]
This Quaternary site is important for its examples of sandstone weathering, especially Toad Rock, which stands on a narrow base moulded by periglacial wind erosion.[5]
There is access to the site from Rusthall Road.
