Natural Beauty Spots

The Warren, AshfordAshford has a wealth of natural heritage waiting to be explored. It offers everything from the protected Walland Marsh to the rural countryside of the Kent Downs, an area of outstanding natural beauty and places such as Kings Wood, a focal point for art and sculpture.

Green spaces are incredibly important, providing a huge range of benefits including wildlife conservation, recreational space, leisure activities, education and cultural experiences.
