Must Visit Ashford

When it comes to a great base to explore Kent’s Heritage Coast, it doesn’t get much easier than Ashford. Set in the heart of the Kent countryside, but with high-speed rail links that can whisk you out of the capital in under 40 minutes, it’s a perfect jumping off point when visiting our glorious county. What’s more, with acres of vineyards, picturesque villages and not one, but two Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, it’s safe to say this corner of West Kent has a lot to boast about.
