Ashford

Don’t Miss

Explore the town on foot to enjoy the quaint English nostalgic steam railways, windmills and historic National Trust properties. Follow the heritage trail through the narrow alleyways known as Middle Row and witness Medieval, Georgian and Jacobean houses. The old jail, a First World War tank and the fountain are all camera worthy.

Retail Therapy

The McArthurGlen Ashford designer outlet is one of Europe’s most impressive shopping destinations, offering fashion, jewellery and sports shops in abundance. If the thought overwhelms you, try the modern County Square and Park Mall centres.

Eat and Drink

The agricultural market is one of the most significant in England – pick up fresh fruit, vegetable and meat straight from the folks who farmed it. There’s an abundance of takeaways and restaurants in Ashford from huge chains at the Eureka Leisure centre to family run outlets in the Old Town.

Hidden Gem
