Green Corridor
Ashford's Green
Corridor is made up of parks, recreation grounds and other green
spaces alongside the rivers that flow through Ashford. The Corridor
runs through the centre of Ashford, from the M20 through to the
Ford in South Ashford.
It covers The Queen Mother's Park, the North and South Parks at
the Stour Centre, Bowen's Field, Victoria Park and Watercress
Field.
The Great Stour floodplain runs through urban Ashford and
provides valuable green space and wildlife habitats. Most of this
area is designated as a local nature reserve, and supports wildlife
including voles, kingfishers and bats.
Not only does the land offer excellent recreational space, but
being adjacent to the River Stour is a major area of flood
protection. Any development proposed in this area has to have
the agreement of the Environment
Agency, the responsible authority for flood
protection.
