Ashford, Market town in Kent, England
Situated on the River Great Stour, Ashford extends across the Kent countryside with five railway lines connecting at its central transportation hub.
The settlement emerged near a ford crossing the River Stour in 893, when local Saxons constructed fortifications against Danish raiders.
St Mary's Parish Church, dating from the 13th century, functions both as a religious center and a venue for local entertainment events.
The Ashford Designer Outlet houses over 100 luxury brand stores offering discounted items, with direct access from the international railway station.
The town contains the oldest operating St John Ambulance unit in England, established by local resident John Furley.
