Ashford
The town of Ashford lies on the River Great Stour, M20 motorway, South Eastern Main Line and Channel Tunnel Rail Link railways, in the borough of Ashford, located just south of the North Downs, in Kent, England.
Its agricultural market is one of the most important in the county. Ashford is a relatively common English name: it goes back to Old English æscet, indicating a ford near to a clump of ash-trees.
