The character of Ashford
Ashford's town centre is a mix of older streets around the parish church and newer development around the international station, connected by a ring road system built to handle motorway-level traffic. The station itself has a large, well-organised forecourt for drop-off and collection. The Designer Outlet, a short drive from the centre, has its own extensive car parking rather than street access.
- Ashford International has a large, well-organised drop-off and collection forecourt.
- The Designer Outlet has its own extensive car parking rather than street-level access.
- The ring road handles most through traffic, keeping the older centre calmer.
- On bank holiday weekends the motorway and station forecourt both get busy together — extra time is built in.
