About Ashford
Ashford is a pleasant market town in Kent but, due to the M20 and Ashford International railway station, the town has evolved over the years. New businesses have moved to the area and homes have been built to accommodate all the new families and individuals who have moved to the area. The majority of developments have taken place close to the centre of town, leaving the beautiful countryside untouched. With Ashford you have the best of both worlds; a thriving town and a rural retreat.

Shopping in Ashford
Many shopaholics love living in Ashford due to the Ashford Designer Outlet. Bargain hunters flock in their droves to pick up goods from the likes of Barbour, Ralph Lauren, Levi’s, and Links of London. The shopping district often holds events and has many restaurants including Wagamama, Pizza Express, and Harry Ramsden’s.
For a less designer-driven spree, shoppers tend to head to County Square Shopping Centre. With a huge car park, visitors do not have to worry about getting parked. There are the usual fashion retailers such as River Island, H&M and New Look, as well as the likes of the Body Shop, Debenhams, and Marks and Spencer. When a rest is needed, there are many places in and around County Square to stop for a snack, enjoy a coffee, or have a family meal. Debenham’s café is a real hit, as is Muffin Break, Costa Coffee, Chill Time, and Burger King.
