The Category Ashford is a subset of Kent. Browse through the Brief Records in the Category or look at the broader Category to find a List of the Titles of all the Entities associated with Ashford which have so far been described in this Directory. Clicking on a Title will link you to the Entity's Full Record.

'Ashford Green Corridor is a green space that runs through the town of Ashford in Kent, England. The Green Corridor is made up of parks, recreation grounds and other green spaces alongside the rivers that flow through Ashford.'

Access to details of a number of shorter walks around and about Ashford, as well as of the longer district walks which pass through Ashford.

'A coppiced ancient woodland which was once the hunting ground of King Henry VIII, is now the site of an exciting arts project [which used to be] managed by Stour Valley Arts. It features sculptures which draw on the natural landscape and materials and creates art which works with the countryside rather than imposing upon it. A three mile green route not only takes in the art works, but also reveals the full beauty of the wood itself and links into other walks including the shorter "brown route".'

'The village of Hamstreet is surrounded by public woodland including Hamstreet woods, an area of special scientific interest renowned for the presence of wild service trees and nightingales. The routes in this guide explore the contrasting elements of the local area, including Romney Marsh and the banks of the Royal Military Canal.' Unfortunately the original Website cited here seems to have become unavailable; so I have replaced the Link with one to a Walk from the Saturday Walkers' Club.

PDFs of six walks from and to stations on the light railway line which runs from Tenterden in Kent to Northiam in East Sussex.

'Here are a set of 7 delightful circular walks in the beautiful High Weald countryside, which start and finish in Tenterden. The walks were produced by [the former] Tenterden Improved with funding by SEEDA through Kent Rural Towns, and with the assistance of the Tenterden Footpaths Group.' ALERT The Link formerly used here (www.tenterdentown.co.uk) seems to have disappeared. So I have replaced it with a Link to the My Tenterden Website where PDFs of the seven Walks I list on the ‘Full’ Record are now accessible via its ‘Tenterden Tourism News’ Page (and many thanks to Sue Ferguson for that information).
