Ashford is a town in the borough of Ashford in Kent, England.Its agricultural market is one of the most important in the county. Ashford is a relatively common English placename: it goes back to Old English æscet, indicating a ford near a clump of ash-trees.
Ashford lies in a valley at the confluence of the Rivers Upper Great Stour and East Stour where it forms the River Great Stour, and where turns northwards to go through the Stour Gap in the North Downs towardsCanterbury, Sandwich and the English Channel. To the south lies the Weald.
The original town of Ashford, in common with most such towns, has outgrown its original size and has combined with smaller villages in a conurbation. These villages include Bockhanger, Kennington, Sevington, Singleton, and Willesborough. In addition, housing estates have been built in the open spaces between: Bybrook, Godinton, Kingsnorth, Park Farm and Stanhope.
Essentially a modern town, little is left of the old Ashford town centre, apart from some medieval half-timbered buildings in Middle Row and around the churchyard in the town centre. A number of old buildings were removed to make way for the controversial ring road around the centre, built in the early 1970s. Three modern shopping centres are located in the town: Park Mall, County Square and the new Designer Outlet. Bank Street and High Street are traffic free shopping thoroughfares.
Rainfall in the area is highly influenced by the North Downs and the High Weald.
Within the town there are some tourist attractions, among them being Ashford Borough Museum, Godinton House and Gardens and the Willesborough Windmill. New Mill was built in 1869 by John Hill, the Ashford millwright, replacing an earlier smock mill. The mill was worked by the Cornes family until the First World War.
Ashford Town Football Club formed around 1880 as Ashford United and has changed names to Ashford Railway and Ashford FC before settling on the current Town.
