Local area guide
Skip hire in Ashford
Ashford is a town in Kent, sitting on the Great Stour around 15 miles south-west of Canterbury, with a population of around 75,000. It grew as a market town at the meeting point of several routes across the county, with a charter granted in 1243, and served the agricultural Weald and the sheep pastures of Romney Marsh — the Romney Marsh breed was long traded here. The town's modern character was set in 1846, when the South Eastern Railway built its locomotive works at Ashford, creating an entire railway village of workers' housing and turning the town into a major engineering centre.
Ashford's transport position remains its defining feature. Ashford International station sits on High Speed 1, giving journeys to London St Pancras in 37 minutes, and it served Eurostar trains to Paris and Brussels for two decades. The M20 runs alongside the town, linking to the Channel Tunnel terminal at Folkestone and the port of Dover, and that combination of road, rail and cross-Channel access has made Ashford one of the fastest-growing towns in the south-east and a designated growth area for decades.
The town centre retains its medieval street pattern around the Lower High Street and Middle Row, with St Mary the Virgin Church and a scattering of timber-framed and Georgian buildings. Ashford Designer Outlet, with its distinctive tented roof by Richard Rogers, sits south of the centre and is one of the largest in the country. Elsewhere, Godinton House and Gardens lies just outside town, and the surrounding countryside includes the Kent Downs and the Weald, with Sissinghurst, Rye and the Romney Marsh churches within easy reach.
Ashford is the administrative centre for a large rural borough taking in Tenterden, Charing, Wye, Hamstreet and a great many Wealden villages. Within the town, the districts include Willesborough, Kennington, Stanhope, Singleton, South Ashford and Bybrook, along with the large new communities at Chilmington Green and Repton Park built as part of the town's sustained expansion.
Housing in Ashford spans the full range, with Victorian railway workers' terraces in Newtown — a remarkably complete railway village — and around South Ashford, older cottages and Georgian property near the centre, interwar and post-war housing at Willesborough and Kennington, large council-built estates at Stanhope, and very extensive modern development on the town's fringes. The town has absorbed substantial numbers of buyers priced out of London, drawn by the high-speed link, and continues to grow under long-term housing allocations that have made it one of the busiest development areas in Kent.
