Ashford Green Corridor, Nature reserve in Ashford, England
Ashford Green Corridor is a network of parks and green spaces that runs through the town and connects the rivers flowing through Ashford. The site includes recreation grounds and natural habitats that link the urban area with surrounding countryside.
The corridor developed from the vision of linking the town center through preserved natural areas to the surrounding landscape. This grew from protecting existing river valleys and green zones that have long been part of Ashford's landscape.
The corridor ties the town center to the surrounding countryside and provides spaces where residents spend time outdoors. These maintained green areas serve as gathering points for daily activities and accommodate various community uses.
Well-maintained paths run throughout the corridor and allow for walking, cycling, and wheelchair access for visitors of all ages. Information signs at various points help visitors understand the route and explore the different habitats.
The spaces function as habitat for numerous bird species while simultaneously serving as a natural flood defense system along the river floodplain. This dual purpose makes the site special, as habitat protection and practical flood management work together.
