Devil ’ s Kneading Trough , Wye Downs
MUST VISIT ...
ASHFORD
When it comes to a great base to explore Kent ’ s Heritage Coast , it doesn ’ t get much easier than Ashford . Set in the heart of the Kent countryside , but with high-speed rail links that can whisk you out of the capital in under 40 minutes , it ’ s a perfect jumping off point when visiting our glorious county . What ’ s more , with acres of vineyards , picturesque villages and not one , but two Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty , it ’ s safe to say this corner of West Kent has a lot to boast about .
The gem in Ashford ’ s crown ,
Wye Perry Court Farm , or
Macknade for a local lunch with a view . Walkers and green-space seekers who take to the trail are rewarded with views of the Wye Crown cut into the chalk downs and the chance to rest up in the pretty village of Wye , famed for its cosy pubs and rural delights .
Remember when we mentioned two Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty ? The High Weald is another absolute must on any walking tour of Ashford with woodland walks and rolling countryside waiting to be discovered . Trust us , visit in April and May , and you ’ ll find woodland awash
